Three Upcoming Events Could Decide Ukraine's Fate

The Atlantic reports that three upcoming events could determine Ukraine's fate, with the most critical being the US elections in two weeks, as Kyiv fears a stronger Republican Congress could harden President Donald Trump's stance toward Ukraine. The second event is a potential meeting between Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping at the APEC summit in mid-November, where the Ukrainian question might be resolved without Ukraine's participation. The third is the G20 meeting in Miami, with all three seen as pivotal geopolitical moments. Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said Moscow is ready to resume trilateral talks with Washington and Kyiv in November, claiming the conflict is nearing its end, while also discussing a diesel deal and a possible return of an American mercenary.
