Ukraine’s Zelensky Urges Participation in Proposed Trump‑Putin‑Xi Summit

Zelensky said in Oslo that Ukraine must sit at the negotiation table to discuss its future. He called for Kyiv’s participation in a possible summit with US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The call came after a meeting with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and European leaders.

Trump said he would attend a summit with Putin and Xi and that Ukraine should be part of the talks. He made the statement before a press conference in Washington. The meeting has not yet been formally agreed.

According to a US newspaper report cited by German outlets, Russia aims to hold a meeting with Trump and Xi during the APEC summit in Shenzhen on 18‑19 November. The report was referenced by Tagesschau and Die Welt.

Witkoff will fly to St. Petersburg tomorrow to present proposals developed by European and American partners. The Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre said the proposals would be presented to Russian leadership. The travel was announced by Spiegel and Die Welt.

The Ukrainian foreign minister Andrij Sybiha warned that a three‑way meeting could only encourage Putin to continue the war. The warning was reported by Tagesschau and Die Welt.
