Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, warned on Monday that a summit bringing together Russia, China, and the United States would encourage Russian President Vladimir Putin to prolong the war in Ukraine.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Vladimir Putin has proposed organizing a summit next month with US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The stated objective would be to negotiate an end to the conflict on terms favorable to Moscow.
This initiative raises concerns in Kyiv, which sees a risk that it would encourage the continuation of hostilities rather than their swift resolution.
