US President Donald Trump, who for weeks had been threatening new sanctions against Russia for failing to halt the war, announced on Friday he would meet Mr Putin on August 15 in Alaska to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. In the Fox News interview recorded on Friday, Mr Vance said the United States was working to schedule talks between Mr Putin, Mr Zelenskyy and Mr Trump, but he did not think it would be productive for Mr Putin to meet with Mr Zelenskyy before speaking with Mr Trump. "Any deal between the US and Russia must have Ukraine and the EU included, for it is a matter of Ukraine's and the whole of Europe's security."
