Putin proposes trilateral talks with Trump and Xi on Ukraine

corriere.it (Italian) —

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a November meeting with US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss Ukraine, aiming to negotiate an end to the conflict favorable to Moscow, according to the Wall Street Journal. The proposal, made during an October 9 call with Trump, includes a US purchase of Russian diesel fuel. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed discussions are underway, though Trump has not yet agreed. A trilateral summit without Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky would be unprecedented and alarming for European capitals. Russia suggested holding the talks on the sidelines of the November 18-19 APEC summit in Shenzhen, China. Beijing has indicated it would not oppose the meeting if Trump agrees, as it seeks to strengthen its role as a diplomatic mediator.
