Story summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit in November with US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the four-year-old Ukraine conflict that would favor Moscow, according to reports by the Wall Street Journal on October 18. The proposal came after a telephone call between Putin and Trump on October 9, during which they also discussed a deal for Russia to supply diesel fuel to the US and waived key sanctions against Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was notably not invited to this proposed meeting. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that discussions are taking place but stressed there is no clear understanding yet about the agenda or specifics of such a potential summit, which would be held on the sidelines of the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
