They were confirmed by the adviser of Vladimir Putin for security of Juri Ruszakov.
“The long -awaited meeting between me, the President of the United States of America, and Russian President Vladimir Putin will take place next Friday, August 15, in a great state of Alaska,” wrote the American leader a few minutes after midnight from 8 to 9 August, indicating that more details will be published later.
The Russian side confirmed the date and meeting place. “Russia and the United States are close neighbors, so it is logical that the peak of leaders will take place in Alaska,” said Uszakow. He added that the leaders “will focus on discussing the option of achieving a long -term solution of the Ukrainian crisis.”
The Russian, quoted by the TASS news agency, emphasized that “Moscow and Washington would devote to the next days to active and intensive development of meeting parameters in Alaska.” “It won't be a simple process,” he said.
Earlier, Trump took part in signing a peace and economic agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He informed then that Vladimir Putin wants to meet him as soon as possible. “I'll meet him soon,” he said. He also assessed that Putin wants peace and suggested that during the meeting the exchange of territories between Russia and Ukraine would be agreed.
– I will soon meet with President Putin. It would happen earlier, but it requires security measures that must be taken. We will organize a meeting with Russia, at the beginning with Russia and announce the location. I think the location will be very popular for many reasons – he said on Friday at 22.
War in Ukraine. “We will replace part of the territories”
Trump said that Russia and Ukraine are approaching the resolution of the conflict. “I think we are close to it,” he said, asked about his opinion on the prospect of peaceful conflict resolution in Ukraine.
– I think a lot has recently happened, which will help to push this process forward. We look at the issue of the territory for which the fights took place for three and a half years, you know, many Russians were killed, many Ukrainians were killed. So we consider it, but we really want to recover some of them and make a exchange. It's complicated. Actually, it's nothing simple (…) we will exchange some of the territories to improve the situation of both sides – added Trump when signing a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
