The Aporia · Putin proposes summit with Trump and Xi to discuss Ukraine deal: report

Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested holding a summit in November with U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict on terms favorable to Russia. The proposal emerged after Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel fuel and waived sanctions against Moscow, reportedly during a phone call between the two leaders on October 9th. While Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed discussions are underway, the White House has not officially agreed to the summit. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized these moves, warning they could prolong the conflict.

Story summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed holding a summit in China next month with U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss denuclearization and potentially the war in Ukraine. The meeting would take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Shenzhen, although details remain uncertain. Putin raised the idea during a call with Trump earlier this month, aiming for a peace deal that favors Russia and establishing spheres of influence globally. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is reportedly not invited to attend, despite his country being a key player in the ongoing conflict. Critics argue such talks could undermine U.S. allies' strategic interests and stability in Europe and Asia.
