Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit with former President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping next month to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The discussions aim to explore potential negotiations that would be favorable to Moscow, according to sources familiar with the matter.
This summit reflects Putin’s strategy to leverage the increasingly warm relationship between himself and Trump. This dynamic has raised concerns among Ukrainian officials and their allies in Washington and Europe. An encounter of this nature, conducted without the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, would be unprecedented and could provoke significant unease in European capitals and beyond.
