They plan to discuss key issues on the international agenda, including energy markets, the situation in the Middle East and strategic security issues, as well as bilateral relations between the US and Russia in the context of current geopolitical tensions.

The American side will also be represented by US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Special Representative for Ukraine Steve Witkoff.
