Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the United Arab Emirates (UAE) could be the location for a summit with President Donald Trump regarding the war in Ukraine.
Putin said that the country in the Middle East "would be one of the more suitable locations" for talks with Trump.
"We have many friends who are ready to help us organize such an event. One of those friends is the president of the UAE," Putin said, according to the state news agency Interfax.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said earlier on Thursday that Russia and the U.S. had agreed to hold a summit in the coming days, without specifying a location or a date.
It comes after Trump said on Wednesday that special envoy Steve Witkoff had a "highly productive meeting" with Putin earlier this week over a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.
