Putin’s meeting with Trump envoys convinces Kyiv’s allies war will continue into 2027 – Bloomberg
European and U.S. officials believe Russia’s war against Ukraine will continue into next year, acknowledging that the latest U.S. peace initiative has failed to make significant progress in talks with Vladimir Putin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of a trilateral summit with China's Xi Jinping at an upcoming November meeting, according to the Kremlin. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit is scheduled to take place in Shenzhen, China, on November 18-19. Russia has stated that Putin will attend the summit, although the White House has not confirmed whether Trump will be present.
When asked if Trump and Putin discussed the idea of a trilateral meeting during their phone call on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that it was "undeniably" mentioned. Peskov stated that this potential opportunity has been discussed before and will be realized at the APEC summit. The APEC forum, which has been in existence since the 1980s, is one of the most significant economic cooperation platforms in the Asia Pacific region, comprising Russia, China, and the United States.
The upcoming November summit occurs as Washington exerts pressure on Russia to cease the war in Ukraine, and as Moscow and Beijing deepen their relationship.
