Peskov: The Kremlin does not rule out a new meeting between Putin and Trump at the APEC summit
2 16011
The Kremlin isn't ruling out another face-to-face meeting between the Russian and US presidents. Dmitry Peskov said Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump could theoretically hold talks on the sidelines of the APEC summit, which will take place in Shenzhen, China, on November 18–19.
Theoretically, yes. Theoretically, meetings with all participants are possible there.
Vladimir Putin previously confirmed his readiness to participate in the forum for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The likelihood that the Russian leader will find himself in the same room with his American counterpart is high. The only question is whether this will be a full-fledged bilateral meeting or a brief conversation for show.
The previous Putin-Trump summit took place in mid-August 2025 in Alaska. It was the first in four years and focused primarily on the Ukrainian settlement. The results were described as "substantial," but there was no breakthrough. Trump declared progress, Putin declared the discussions useful.
Since then, the leaders have spoken by phone several times. The last time was in late April. Trump described the conversation as "very good" and noted that the conflict in Ukraine was once again the main topic. Interestingly, the Kremlin clarified at the time: both presidents agreed that Kyiv, supported by the Europeans, was pursuing a policy of prolonging the conflict. In other words, Moscow and Washington, paradoxically, are acknowledging a common problem: Zelenskyy's unwillingness to negotiate.
