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.

President Donald Trump said he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping and criticized Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
