On October 19, Vladimir Putin proposed a trilateral meeting with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping the following month to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin confirmed discussions about a potential meeting, while the White House declined to comment. Reporting since adds that the summit would exclude Zelensky and Europe, and that Trump paused a new Russia sanctions package days before it took effect. The meeting is now floated for the APEC summit sidelines in Shenzhen on November 18. Ukraine also says the Pentagon and SpaceX have not responded about Starlink and Starshield throttling.
