Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis would be the main agenda for Russia's President Vladimir Putin's meeting with United States President Donald Trump in Alaska, USA today.

"Regarding the summit agenda, it must be clear to everyone that the focus will be on efforts to resolve the Ukraine crisis, especially given the discussions taking place at the Kremlin on August 6, involving the US Presidential Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff," Ushakov said, as reported by TASS on August 14.

"But of course, broader issues related to peace and security, as well as urgent regional and international issues, will also be discussed," the Russian Aide added.

President Putin and President Trump are scheduled to hold a meeting in Alaska, United States on Friday at 19.30 local time, according to Ushakov, quoted by Reuters.

The meeting is planned to be held at Elmendorf-Richardson Military Base, Anchorage, Alaska, citing Politico.

"The duration (meetings) will depend on how the discussions take place. Of course there is a time parameter, but I have told you when the negotiations will start, when the negotiations will end, this will depend, first of all, on the president," Ushakov said, adding the Russian delegation "clearly" will leave the US as soon as negotiations end.
