Putin says China invited to Ukraine talks with Trump, Russia

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said Russia, the US and China have all acknowledged the possibility of a trilateral summit, which Putin raised with Trump in a phone call, the Wall Street Journal reported. Such a meeting would exclude Ukraine and its European allies. Peskov said there is no agreement yet on the meeting or its agenda. Trump said Monday he would be open to a trilateral summit with Putin and Xi, possibly alongside November's APEC meeting in Shenzhen, to discuss denuclearization rather than Ukraine, and that no deal has been reached. China has not expressed willingness to participate.
