Putin Proposes Ukraine Summit with Trump and Xi

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit with US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war in Moscow's favor, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing a former Russian intelligence officer. The meeting is planned for next month. The proposal stems from an October 9 phone call between Putin and Trump, during which they also agreed the US would purchase Russian diesel and facilitate its global sale. Separately, Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv late Monday, killing at least one person and wounding others, with a medical facility among the buildings hit. Trump has defended suspending sanctions on Russia, saying he wants to keep Moscow at the negotiating table, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the US government of restricting SpaceX satellite services in Ukraine, a claim US officials denied.
