Trump – Putin: In a key development in international politics, a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, is likely to take place next week. Putin himself has confirmed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will be the venue for the meeting, which has created excitement around the world. The meeting will take place in the context of Trump’s deadline for a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war by August 8, 2025, or the threat of new sanctions on Russia and tariffs on Russian energy exports.
Meeting hosting: UAE’s choice, US initiative
According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, talks between the two countries regarding this high-level meeting have accelerated. He made it clear that the initiative came from the US side. These developments gained momentum after Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff held three-hour talks with Putin in Moscow on August 6, 2025. Putin called the UAE an ideal venue for the meeting, adding that friends such as UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan would help organize the event. “We have many friendly countries that will help us organize this meeting. The UAE is one of them,” Putin commented.
Trilateral meeting proposal: Zelensky likely to participate
During Witkoff’s visit to Moscow, Putin raised the idea of holding a trilateral meeting with Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, Putin did not give a clear response to the proposal, saying that “some conditions have to be created for a meeting with Zelensky, which is still far away.” Zelensky, however, supported the meeting in X, saying that “Ukraine is not afraid of meetings and expects a similar courageous attitude from Russia.” He stressed that Europe must be involved in the talks.
Optimism about Russia-US relations
Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, expressed hope that the meeting would be an opportunity to revive Russian-American relations. He explained that there are broad opportunities for cooperation with American investors in areas such as Arctic projects, rare earth metals, and infrastructure development. “This meeting will breathe new life into economic and trade relations.” Analysts believe. Discussions about this meeting have intensified in X, with some seeing it as a step towards improving relations between Russia and the United States, while others are concerned that it could increase pressure on Ukraine.
Background of the meeting: War in Ukraine, threat of sanctions
The meeting is taking place in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, which began in February 2022 and has so far claimed millions of lives and caused widespread destruction in Ukraine. Trump has been pushing for an end to the war, giving Putin a deadline of Friday (August 8, 2025) to agree to a ceasefire. If he does not, he has threatened to impose secondary sanctions on countries that trade with Russia, such as China and India, as well as tariffs on Russian energy exports. India has already been slapped with an additional 25% tariff on Russian oil imports .
Comparison with past meetings
If the meeting takes place, it would be the first meeting between US and Russian presidents since Joe Biden and Putin met in Geneva in June 2021. Trump and Putin previously met on the sidelines of the G20 summits in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Expectations for the outcome of the meeting are mixed, with analysts warning that Russia is unlikely to agree to a ceasefire and that Putin could impose conditions such as Ukraine’s disarmament and NATO membership.
