Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said that the leaders of the two countries will discuss “a wide range of issues of normalization of relations and the Ukrainian issue.”
Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that Putin is expected to demand a suspension of arms shipments to Ukraine during Trump’s proposed ceasefire.
