Russian President Vladimir Putin’s first meeting with US President Donald Trump will take place in Germany on Friday.
Mr Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said the two leaders will meet on the sidelines of the G20 summit being held in Hamburg, Russian news agencies reported.
Mr Ushakov has previously said the pair are likely to discuss the fight against terrorism, the war in Syria and the crisis in Ukraine.
He added that the Kremlin also expects the US to quickly return the Russian Embassy’s compounds, which were closed by the Obama administration.
He noted that Russia has demonstrated remarkable restraint by refraining from a tit-for-tat response, but added that its patience is running out.
