U.S. President Donald Trump said he is open to a three-way meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, reportedly to discuss nuclear weapons, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirming discussions are underway though not finalized; the Kremlin said no concrete proposals exist yet and Beijing said it has no information on the plan. Trump suggested he could meet Putin and Xi without Zelensky and that Ukraine needs a new negotiator, while Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff plan separate peace talks in Norway this week. Ukrainian officials strongly objected, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha saying Putin has no place at the table while "terrorizing Ukrainians" and that a Russia-China-US summit would only encourage Putin to continue the war; Germany's Foreign Ministry said it is for Ukraine itself to decide what peace terms it can accept. Kyiv has instead backed a trilateral format including Ukraine, the US and Russia.
