Putin Proposes Trilateral Summit With Trump and Xi on Ukraine Deal

usnews.com —

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a trilateral summit with US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping next month to negotiate a Ukraine peace deal favoring Moscow, according to the Wall Street Journal. The proposal, made during an October 9 phone call, follows recent US moves to buy Russian diesel and waive key sanctions, which have drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for potentially emboldening Putin. The Kremlin suggested holding the meeting on the sidelines of the November 18-19 APEC summit in Shenzhen, though a senior US official said Trump has not yet agreed to the idea.
