Details: The address is scheduled for 2 September at 21:00 Kyiv time. It is not yet known what the US president will speak about.
Background:
- On 22 August, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Vladimir Putin would meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy only after a "summit programme" had been prepared and that there were no such plans at the moment.
- Trump intends to leave it to Russia and Ukraine to organise a meeting between their leaders, thereby stepping back from the talks for the time being.
- Speaking to the media representatives on 29 August, Zelenskyy recalled that on Monday 1 September the "couple of weeks" Trump had given Moscow for next steps in the negotiations, including arranging a bilateral meeting with Ukraine before returning to the idea of sanctions, would expire.
