Russian and US officials are to work on a territorial issue for the needs of the planned summit. The United States is trying to get the support of Ukraine and EU countries for this agreement, but according to sources, its conclusion remains very uncertain. This, however, was enough for investors to buy rumors.
According to the New York Times, the next stage is also planned – a tripartite meeting with the participation of Trump, Putin and Zełenski. The latter, after Thursday's telephone conversation with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, said that “Ukraine is not afraid of talks and expects an equally bold approach from the Russian side. It is time to end the war.”
