United States President Donald Trump has announced plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin 'very shortly', hinting at possible negotiations regarding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump suggested that a deal could involve swapping territories held by both sides, though he did not elaborate on the specifics. The war has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people since Russia's invasion in February 2022. Ahead of the summit, Putin consulted with the leaders of China and India to garner support, while Trump continues efforts to broker peace without significant progress so far.
