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.
