The summit, which will bring together Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, was confirmed following a visit by US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow on August 6, where he met with Putin.

According to Trump, after his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he plans to contact Zelenskyy to discuss the results of negotiations with NATO representatives.
