The peak organized at Putin's request will be the first such meeting since 2007 according to the newspaper The face to face meeting itself, without any previous concessions on the part of Russia, is Putin's diplomatic success. “It is a step for him to influence the future of Ukraine together with Washington,” said the British daily.
Causing the Kremlin adviser, Jurija Ruszakowa, Gazeta said that the key topic of conversations is to be “huge, unused potential” in Russian-American economic relations.
– The goal is to exchange views on the development of bilateral cooperation, including in the sphere of trade and economy – said Uszakow.
Putin can make a proposal to Trump
In addition to diplomats, the Russian delegation will also include prominets from the world of economy, such as the finance minister Anton Siłuanow, who was responsible for Russia's reaction to Western sanctions.
The newspaper quotes an anonymous, former Russian high -level official, who stated that Putin, knowing about Trump's business approach to the world, will propose peace on his terms as a gate to lucrative possibilities.
“Guardian” did not provide details of a possible proposal. Analysts suggest that the meeting organized in such a short time probably will not bring a significant breakthrough.
The spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt described the summit as “exercise in listening”. Trump himself downplayed the expectations, calling the conversations a “listening process.”
“Guardian” at the same time reminded that Kiev firmly rejected the conditions set by Moscow regarding the suspension of weapons, including the withdrawal of Ukraine from key regions and resignation from the aspirations for membership in NATO.
