Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 20, 2026 —

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly proposed a trilateral summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping and former U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss the future of the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin confirmed the proposal, according to the available account.

The proposed meeting would involve Russia, China and the United States. Ukraine and its European allies would not be included, the summary of the proposal states. No date, location or format for a summit was provided, and it was not stated whether Xi or Trump had accepted or responded to the proposal.

The proposal places China in a potential role in discussions about the conflict. China is described as officially neutral while having significant influence on the war. The account does not provide further details about the nature of that influence or specify what role Putin envisions for Xi at a meeting.

The reported initiative also reflects Putin’s stated desire to negotiate directly with Trump. Trump is identified as a former U.S. president; no details were provided about any official U.S. government involvement or whether the proposal was made through formal diplomatic channels.

The available information does not outline a proposed agenda, possible terms or expected outcomes. It also does not explain why Ukraine and European allies would be excluded, or provide responses from the Ukrainian government, European governments, Xi or Trump. The Kremlin’s confirmation establishes that the proposal was made, but the account does not indicate whether a summit is being arranged.
