US President Donald Trump indicated Monday he is ready to meet Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping in China next month, saying any summit would focus on denuclearization but could also include the Ukraine war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow,

Such talks, to which the three sides have yet to agree, would come amid tensions between Washington and Kyiv.

Political analyst Joe Siracusa asserts that Donald Trump is “determined” to say he brought the war in Ukraine to an end. “President Trump wants to get some kind of victory before he leaves office,” Mr Siracusa told News24.
