Russian diplomatic sources have denied Western media reports that Ukraine will not be discussed at the upcoming meeting between Putin, Trump and Xi, organized by China.
The issue of Ukraine remains one of the main issues for both delegations - the Russian and the American. Trump is expected to inform Xi about his approach to solving the crisis, which has already been approved by the Russian side.
As for the discussion of the Ukrainian issue, what is more important is not whether it will be mentioned (it is inevitable), but what emphasis will be placed in the latest communiqué.
China approaches the situation cautiously and is in no rush to make its assessments. Although they are satisfied with the current circumstances of the conflict, they do not satisfy Putin and Trump at the same time.
