Trump-Putin summit preparations underway, Russia says as U.S. offers UN resolution on war

Preparations are underway for a face-to-face meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia's deputy foreign minister told state media on Saturday.

Sergei Ryabkov said a possible Putin-Trump summit – which would be a clear departure from Western efforts to isolate Moscow over its war in Ukraine – could involve broad talks on global issues, not just the ongoing war.

"The question is about starting to move toward normalizing relations between our countries, finding ways to resolve the most acute and potentially very, very dangerous situations, of which there are many, Ukraine among them," he said.
