Trump estimates the probability of a failed meeting with Putin at 25%

US President Trump held a summit with Russian President Putin on the 15th. It is expected to start at 11:30 AM local time in Alaska, USA on the 15th. Trump said in an interview with the media that if his meeting with Putin does not go smoothly, he will not call anyone.

On the 14th, Trump told Fox News Radio that if the meeting with Putin goes well, he will call Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and European leaders, but also estimated that there is a 25% chance that his meeting with Putin may fail.

He also mentioned that if the summit with Putin is successful, a second meeting will be held, which will include Putin and Zelenskyy.

Trump said in an interview that any agreement to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine would be reached at the second tripartite meeting with Zelenskyy, not at the summit held in Alaska, USA on the next day.

Trump emphasized, "The second meeting will be very, very important, because they will reach an agreement then."

The Russian Kremlin announced on the 14th that the major summit between President Putin and US President Trump on the 15th will involve a one-on-one meeting between the two, with only their interpreters present. Subsequently, the US and Russian delegations will also hold talks and continue discussions during a working breakfast meeting. Both sides will discuss ways to resolve the Ukraine conflict and hold a joint press conference after the summit to summarize the results of the summit.

Kremlin advisor Peskov also told reporters: "Everyone probably knows that the core topic of this meeting will be to resolve the Ukraine crisis. Of course, both sides will also discuss broader issues of ensuring peace and security, as well as urgent international and regional issues."

Eshakov also said that the Russian delegation includes Foreign Minister Lavrov, Defense Minister Belousov, Finance Minister Surov, and economic affairs negotiator Demidov.

This will be the first joint press conference between US and Russian leaders since their meeting in Helsinki, Finland in 2018.
