MOSCOW, June 27. /TASS/. Moscow and Washington have agreed on the date and venue for a meeting between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, the details will be announced on Thursday, June 28, Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters following meeting between the Russian leader and US National Security Adviser John Bolton.

"The two countries have discussed the issue for a long time, it has been discussed through closed channels. I can say that an agreement has been reached on holding the summit, even an agreement on the date and venue. We will presumably announce that tomorrow together with our US counterparts," Ushakov said on Wednesday.

The Kremlin aide noted that the two presidents would meet at a "comfortable" venue in a third country. "Before the meeting [with Putin] contacts behind closed doors were held to agree the parameters and possibility of such a meeting [of the Russian and US leaders]," Ushakov said

"A very convenient place for us and the American side has been selected in a third country," he added.

According to Ushakov, the summit is likely to last several hours. "It’s also highly likely that the two Presidents will meet in the middle of the day. Beyond any doubt, there will be a tete-a-tete meeting, a protocol event of some kind - a working breakfast I think - and then a joint news conference," he said.

Summit with a focus on result

Ushakov suggested that Putin and Trump could make a joint statement following the summit.

"The issue at hand was that the two presidents can agree on a joint statement that could outline the two countries’ further steps both in terms of improving bilateral relations, in terms of joint steps in the international arena and in terms of maintaining global stability and security," he said.
