A meeting between US President Donald Trump and russian dictator vladimir putin may take place on Monday, August 11. Rome is being considered as a likely venue. Fox News reported this on Friday, August 8, citing sources familiar with the negotiations.
According to the sources, the leaders’ meeting is being prepared for Monday, and Rome is being considered as a likely venue.
“Trump, appearing before reporters later at the White House, didn’t answer questions about a potential location for a meeting but when asked about a summit with Putin and Zelenskyy, said “there’s a very good prospect that they will” meet,” the report says.
The publication recalls that if the plans are successful, the meeting with putin will be Trump’s first since his election as US president this year. Although it could be a significant event, it is unlikely to end the fighting, as Ukraine and russia have opposing demands, reports Fox News.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 7, US President Donald Trump said that he may meet with russian dictator vladimir putin in person in the near future.
Also on August 7, putin called the United Arab Emirates a likely place to meet with Trump.
As a reminder, on July 28, Trump announced that he was setting a new deadline of 10-12 days, during which the aggressor state russia must make progress in concluding a peace agreement with Ukraine.

Where are the sanctions from hell???????????????????????????
Well, i’m not a complete expert concerning the Holy Bible, but according to the Holy Bible – hell is evil. If the Epstein administration has gone evil, no sanctions at all are actually sanctions ‘from hell’…
UAE would be far more likely than Rome.
Why? The pedos are based in Rome.
Was meaning because of the Rome Statute.

The dangers of Putin and Trump meeting
So, here we are: Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will hold talks next week to negotiate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. There are conflicting reports about whether Volodymyr Zelensky will join them as a third-wheel at the negotiating table. Most likely, he won’t be invited, as Putin wants to strike a deal with Trump first, and then for both of them to pressure Zelensky into signing it.
The Ukrainian President is not wasting time in making his position known, subtly reminding Trump in his recent statements that any peace agreement must be fair. Once it became clear that Trump had conceded to Russia’s demand to exclude European leaders from the talks, Zelensky began phoning allies in France, Germany, Italy and others one by one, trying to get them to agree on a joint negotiating position in advance.
‘Europe’s voice must carry weight in the process. And we are coordinating with our European leaders… to align all positions,’ he said. It may strengthen his hand, but not as much as having at least one European representative at the table to ensure Ukraine isn’t forced to accept a deal on Russia’s terms. As Ben Wallace, the former UK defence secretary, recently put it: ‘Both Trump and Putin are known to be bullies, they bully people all the time, and I don’t think two bullies versus Zelensky, who is a brave man… would necessarily produce the right outcomes’.
Still, if Zelensky is told to sign a deal that undermines Ukraine’s sovereignty, he will most likely refuse – even if it risks drawing Trump’s fury. Despite his flaws in managing domestic politics, Zelensky has stood firm in defending Ukraine against Putin’s full-scale invasion. Even Trump couldn’t force him to sign disadvantageous deals such as the first version of the minerals agreement, which would have stripped Ukrainians of half their natural resources. Their infamous clash in the Oval Office showed there is a line Zelensky will not cross when it comes to Ukraine’s interests.
Some may now brand Zelensky as ‘the main obstacle to peace’ – an argument I unfortunately now often hear in Britain – but in Ukraine, it is Putin who is blamed. He is the only man able to end this war, his war, which has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. He could order his troops to stop where they are and come to the table with a ceasefire in place. No one has to die while talks are under way. But that is not what Putin wants. His goal is to return Ukraine under the Kremlin’s boot, and if he can’t reach it in a military way, he will try to achieve it at the negotiation table. That aim is entirely incompatible with the sovereignty and security Ukrainians are fighting for. Peace at any cost is not what Ukrainians want: according to the latest poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, 76 per cent strongly oppose Russia’s proposed peace plan.
An endless war is not what Ukrainians – or Zelensky – want either. He has already agreed to freeze fighting along the front line without any conditions, and only Trump can force Russia to do the same. His deadline for Putin has passed today, but there is still no word from Trump on whether he will stick to his promise to impose secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian oil. Even the threat of such measures was enough to bring Putin to the table, considering that Russia’s federal budget deficit soared to £48 billion this month, 30 per cent above the annual target. If Trump presses harder on Moscow, rather than Kyiv, he will be surprised at how quickly the killing could stop.
Amen! 👍🇺🇦✌
