  "account": "US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that he is prepared to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in China next month. Any summit would primarily focus on denuclearisation, but could also encompass the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, suggesting it was \"time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine\". The Kremlin acknowledged the possibility of a meeting at an Asia-Pacific summit in Shenzhen next month, following a report in the Wall Street Journal that Putin sought three-way talks to secure a favorable peace deal for Moscow. Trump replied that he would \"do whatever I can do to end the war\", but defended the recent nuclear deal with Putin and waived new sanctions, which has led to a significant rift with Ukraine and prompted Zelenskyy to declare him on the wrong side of history.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that he was ready to meet Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping in China next month, saying any summit would focus on denuclearisation but could also include the Ukraine war.",
