Washington (dpa-AfX)-US President Donald Trump and Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin want to meet this Friday to talk about the Ukraine War. It is the first meeting of the heads of state of both countries since the beginning of the Russian attack war in Ukraine in February 2022.

It is unclear whether there are actually concrete results. Trump spoke of a risk of 25 percent that the summit could fail. According to official information from Moscow, no joint explanation is planned after the summit. Trump said he hoped for another meeting together with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, where there could be an agreement.

Already the day before, Trump had threatened Putin with “very serious consequences” if he did not get involved in the meeting at the meeting ./ngu/dp/he
