Russian President Vladimir Putin has
proposed a summit next month with US President Donald Trump and
Chinese leader Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the four-year
Ukraine conflict that would favour Moscow, the Wall Street
Journal said.
Citing a former Russian intelligence officer, the paper said
on Sunday that Putin’s suggestion came in an Oct. 9 telephone
call with Trump that also yielded a deal for the US to buy
Russian diesel and facilitate its sale on the global market.
