> The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have not discussed details of a possible meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in China, though both sides understand it could happen. Dmitry Peskov attributed Kyiv’s current “flexibility” to shortages of money and weapons, saying it was not the flexibility needed for a settlement.
