Putin proposes summit with Trump and Xi to discuss Ukraine deal, WSJ says
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit next month with US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the four-year-old Ukraine conflict that would favour Moscow, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the discussions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit with US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in October to discuss ending the four-year conflict in Ukraine, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The proposed meeting, which would favor Moscow, comes after Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel and waived key sanctions on Moscow.
The summit is reportedly being considered for the sidelines of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that discussions are ongoing, but did not provide any further details. US officials say Trump has not yet agreed to the summit, but could be open to the idea.
The proposal has drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who warns it would embolden Putin and prolong the war.
