WSJ: Putin Floats a Summit With Trump and Xi to Decide Ukraine’s Fate

  • On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a trilateral summit with President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the four-year war in Ukraine.
  • Putin first suggested the meeting during an October 9 call with Trump, which simultaneously produced a deal for the U.S. to purchase Russian diesel fuel.
  • The Kremlin suggested holding the talks on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, on Nov. 18 and 19, without inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
  • Trump has not agreed but may be receptive, according to a senior U.S. official, even as the President claimed on Sunday that Zelensky "doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did."
  • Analysts warn that excluding Ukraine from the summit could trigger European backlash while advancing China's diplomatic ambitions, though neither the White House nor the Chinese Embassy in Washington has commented.
