Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet with United States President Donald Trump next week, according to Russia's deputy United Nations Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy. Several locations for the potential meeting have been discussed, though details remain undisclosed. Polyanskiy stated he was not aware of any planned meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. He also condemned any Israeli plans to take over the Gaza Strip, calling such actions a step in the wrong direction. The comments come as Trump faces scrutiny for not yet fulfilling his pledge to end the conflict in Ukraine.
