LONDON -- The Kremlin has confirmed on Thursday morning U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia President Vladimir Putin have agreed to a meeting, though a specific date or location has yet to be announced.

Expectations for a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv are muted, despite the US president's threat of sweeping sanctions.

Trump has met in-person with Zelensky at least three times since returning to office, including a Feb. 28 meeting where he lashed out at the Ukrainian president and accused him of prolonging Russia’s invasion. The two leaders met again on April 26 on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral and in The Hague on June 25.
