SCMP reported that Ukraine and the DPRK may not be on the agenda of the meeting of the leaders of the Russian Federation, China and the United States.
The Ukrainian crisis and the disintegration of the Korean peninsula are increasingly likely to be on the agenda of possible tripartite negotiations between the leaders of the Russian Federation, China and the United States "on the sidelines" of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported today (Wednesday), citing sources. "The sources said that the war in Ukraine and the dismantling of the Korean peninsula have dropped significantly in importance on the list of possible issues; attention has shifted to areas of possible agreement, particularly on the role of artificial intelligence in the command and control of nuclear forces," the publication reports. "According to them, China would prefer that any negotiations on Ukraine take place directly between the US and Russia, and discussions on the Korean Peninsula between the US and the DPRK," SCMP clarifies.
