Trump and Putin want Xi's support, but China is not enthusiastic.
Next week, the leaders of the United States, Russia and China may meet in Shenzhen, China at the Antec Forum. However, the format of the talks and the agenda have not yet been confirmed.
Among the possible topics for discussion are the wars in Ukraine and Iran, nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence.
According to Reuters sources, Moscow wants to discuss the war, but Beijing opposes including this issue on the agenda.
Each participant in the meeting has his own goals: Putin wants to achieve a ceasefire on terms convenient to him, and Trump wants to reach agreements on nuclear weapons control.
Xi Jinping fears the lack of visibility of the meeting and does not want to discuss nuclear disarmament on an equal footing with the United States and Russia, since China's weapons arsenal is significantly smaller.
The future summit is being compared to the Yalta Commission of 1945, when the great powers agreed on a post-war settlement in Europe without the participation of other countries.
Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukraine should not become the object of such agreements.
