Rais wa Marekani, Donald Trump, amesema atautumia mkutano wake unaotarajiwa na Rais wa Urusi, Vladimir Putin, kupima mawazo ya kiongozi huyo kuhusu namna ya kumaliza mzozo wa Ukraine.
Viongozi hao wawili wanatarajiwa kukutana Ijumaa ya wiki hii nchini Marekani, ikiwa ni mara ya kwanza kwao kufanya mazungumzo ya ana kwa ana tangu Urusi iivamie Ukraine Februari 2022.
Mkutano huo unalenga kujadili njia za kufikia suluhu ya amani na kupunguza mvutano kati ya mataifa hayo mawili pamoja na kuangazia mustakabali wa usalama wa kimataifa.

The US and Russia have agreed to hold a meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August, to discuss how to end the war in Ukraine
Trump announced the meeting a week beforehand - the same day as his deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face more US sanctions
Three rounds of talks between Russia and Ukraine held at Trump's behest this summer have yet to bring the two sides any closer to peace
Here is what we know about the meeting between the two leaders, taking place in Alaska - which was once Russian territory
Trump has been pushing hard - without much success - to end the war in Ukraine.
As a presidential candidate, he pledged that he could end the war within 24 hours of taking office. He has also repeatedly claimed that the war "never would have happened" if he had been president at the time of Russia's invasion.
Last month, Trump told the BBC that he was "disappointed" by Putin.
Frustrations grew and Trump set an 8 August deadline for Putin to agree to an immediate ceasefire or face more severe US sanctions.
As the deadline hit, Trump instead announced he and Putin would meet in person on 15 August.
The meeting comes after US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff held "highly productive" talks with Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, acc
The US purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867, giving a historical significance to the meeting. It later became an American state in 1959
Russian presidential assistant Yuri Ushakov pointed out that the two countries were neighbours, with only the Bering Strait separating them
"It seems quite logical for our delegation simply to fly over the Bering Strait and for such an important and anticipated summit of the leaders of the two countries to be held in Alaska," Ushakov said.
The last time Alaska took centre-stage in an American diplomatic event was in March 2021, when Joe Biden's newly-minted diplomatic and national security team met their Chinese counterparts in Anchorage.
The sit-down turned acrimonious, with the Chinese accusing the Americans of "condescension and hypocrisy".
