- The talks were organised in connection with the expected meeting between the Russian and US leaders in Alaska, scheduled for late on 15 August Kyiv time. European leaders, together with Ukraine, conveyed their key positions to US President Donald Trump.
- Media reports indicate Trump told the Europeans that at the meeting with Putin, he would insist on an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine, while the issue of Ukrainian territories would not be raised. The US president said that if the meeting with Putin goes well, he will hold another one in which Zelenskyy could participate.
