Putin reportedly proposes three-way summit with Trump and Xi on Ukraine war — without Zelenskyy

Reports indicate that Russian authorities have proposed a high-level diplomatic summit involving Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to discuss the ongoing Ukraine war. Crucially, the proposed meeting excludes Ukrainian leadership, drawing immediate international scrutiny. The diplomatic initiative comes at a time of strained relations between Kyiv and Washington, its primary military benefactor. Such a summit could dramatically alter the geopolitical landscape and shift peace negotiation dynamics. Markets are closely watching these diplomatic signals for any potential impact on global stability and commodity supplies.
