The most important issues will be discussed in a face-to-face meeting: the Ukraine issue and the Russian-American relations, says official Jurij Usjakov to reporters, according to AFP.

The Kremlin also announces that Putin will visit China at the end of August and the beginning of September.

Xi visits Russia in connection with the Russian celebration of Victory Day in World War II, as well as leaders from 28 other countries.

According to the Kremlin, soldiers from China and twelve other countries, including Egypt and Myanmar, will participate in the large military "Victory Day" parade held in Moscow on Friday.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ukraine has warned foreign forces that participating in the parade from Kyiv's perspective is "unacceptable".
