MOSCOW: Russians on the streets of Moscow on Friday held little hope that an upcoming summit between their president, Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump would help end the conflict in Ukraine. Both presidents have said they are set to meet, possibly as early as next week, as Trump intensifies his bid to convince Moscow to halt its more than three-year-long military offensive. The former reality TV star has spent his first months in office trying to broker peace — after initially boasting that he could end the conflict in 24 hours.

The US president then plans to meet the Russian leader and Ukraine’s Zelensky together, though it is not clear where the talks will be held.

A summit between President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin would come as the United States has urged Russia to agree to a cease-fire in Ukraine or face new sanctions.

The Russian leader sees direct talks with Trump as essential to achieving his ultimate aims in Ukraine.

Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov says a Trump-Putin meeting could happen as soon as next week.

Donald Trump last night dismissed the idea that a US-Russia summit will only happen if Vladimir Putin meets Ukraine's president.

A BBC analysis published this week showed Russia has more than doubled its attacks on Ukraine since Trump's inauguration in January.
