Trump Will Meet Putin Soon — Even Sans Putin–Zelenskyy Meeting

Gofrixty [8 August 2025] – Former President Donald Trump announcement that he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘very soon’ whether or not Putin agrees to see Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump brushed aside the notion of a Putin-Zelenskyy summit preceding his own summit. “No, he wont have to,” Trump said when asked if Putin should sit down with Zelensky ahead of an American-Russian summit.“

Trump made it clear what he wanted — violence in Ukraine to end. He argued that neither leader wants war and said he can be a mediator. “Stop the killin’!” “I think we can do that.”

Trump, through sources in his inner circle, has made it known that the former president of The United States wants to see Putin, and aims to do so in the UAE next week. The Kremlin hinted that they were also exploring the idea of holding the summit there. Trump’s team, meanwhile, has dispatched envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow for a three hour-long meeting with Putin. Trump called those meetings “very good.”

Although interest in a Trump-Putin summit has been growing, it drew an oppositional response from leaders in Ukraine and Europe. Oh no, they fear, Trump will cut a deal with Putin and leave out Ukraine. Leaving Ukraine out of any such top-level talks would set a “dangerous precedent”, President Zelenskyy said, which could undermine the sovereignty of the country.

Putin keeps ignoring prospects of meeting with Zelensky, says unclear point in face-to-face talks now In the meantime, the market is signaling that it may be more interesting in a ceasefire than Trump — even if he has to go behind Zelenskyy’s back at first.

The summit, would be the first one-on-one meeting the two leaders have held since before Russia’s total invasion of Ukraine. As the face of US overtures with North Korea, Trump has a rare bond with Kim and a historic feud on his side, believing that he can do what no one else has ever done before: sign a peace agreement to end the war.

But critics say doing so would undermine Western unity and play into Russian hands. For his part, Trump so far has shown no indication that he will give in. “‘Theres’gonna be a way,” he told reporters. Fast. I don’t like long delays. People are dying.”
