Putin proposes summit with Trump, Xi excluding Zelensky, WSJ reports

Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a summit with President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, without including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Wall Street Journal reported. The report followed Trump's criticism of Zelensky for launching a weekend strike on Russian oil facilities, which Trump said showed Zelensky did not want to end the war. The proposal comes after Zelensky's Sunday call with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about resuming U.S.-Russia talks.
