Putin Proposes Three-Way Summit with Trump and Xi to Discuss Ukraine
What happened
Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a trilateral summit with President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the war in Ukraine, according to reports. The Wall Street Journal reported that Putin floated the idea during an October 9 phone call with Trump, suggesting the meeting could take place in China next month. Trump stated he is open to such a meeting but indicated his focus would be on denuclearization rather than solely on Ukraine.

Left-leaning outlets emphasize that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not invited to the proposed talks. The Daily Beast frames it as Putin hoping to "lure" Trump to a "Yalta-style superpower summit" that would let him "end the war in Ukraine on the Kremlin's terms."
