> Moscow is pushing for Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to join Vladimir Putin in a summit on ending the Ukraine war, without Ukraine or the EU. The Kremlin hopes the format will elevate Russia’s standing and help secure terms favorable to Moscow. China may attend mainly as a symbolic partner, rather than take responsibility for mediating the conflict.
