Putin, Xi and Trump could meet at China summit

The Kremlin said on Monday that Russian, Chinese, and US presidents Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Donald Trump could potentially meet at an upcoming Asia-Pacific summit in China, though no concrete proposals or agenda have been discussed. The potential meeting was mentioned amid reports that Putin wants to discuss the Ukraine war, but the Kremlin stressed no substantive agreements exist and that any final settlement requires Kyiv's participation. Putin has repeatedly refused to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The APEC summit is scheduled for November 18-19 in Shenzhen, China, with all three countries as members. The comments follow Trump's recent moves toward Moscow, including waiving new sanctions and a diesel deal, which have raised concerns in Kyiv and Europe.
