Ukraine war briefing: Beijing confirms historic Xi-Trump-Putin meeting under discussion

Beijing is in talks for a potential meeting between Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin during the Apec summit. Experts suggest Russia may leverage this summit to align China and the US with its stance on Ukraine, although Trump has been advised to avoid discussing the topic. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces ongoing attacks from Russia, with President Zelenskyy urging allies for missile support and clarity on postwar security guarantees. Recent discussions in Brussels focused on countering Russian threats and ensuring support for Ukraine's future security and reconstruction efforts. Trilateral talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and the US are also planned for next week.
