One of the two is a shining showman who scribbles in Twitter as an obsessive. The second is a former KGB agent who knows how to play on the weaknesses of the enemy. This is how the note dedicated to the meeting of the two leaders begins in the Friday Times.

To all the stylistic differences between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, it is added that the American president decided to come to their first meeting without any formal agenda.

Their conversation in Hamburg will be the first meeting of leaders of the two powers face to face almost two years after the Barack Obama put Vladimir Putin in the cold because of Russian aggression in Ukraine, the Times continues.

Even Trump's closest advisors do not know what he plans to go to this meeting. "It can be anything, anything the president wants to talk about," said National Security Adviser Herbert McMaster.

Putin, for his part, is fully aware of the points on which he would like to speak.

Apparently, he will try to exert pressure on the issue of the return of Russian property confiscated by Barack Obama in connection with Russia's interference in the American elections, and also to press his position in Ukraine.

The Russian leader, certainly, by the time of the meeting will comprehensively and thoroughly examine Trump: once Putin led his Labrador to a meeting with Angela Merkel, knowing that she was terribly afraid of dogs.

"Putin will enter the room, perfectly prepared, and I'm not at all sure that Trump will enter the same room, prepared just as well," the Times quotes the words of former US ambassador to Ukraine Stephen Pifer.
