China confirmed for the first time that it is in contact with Washington and Moscow about a possible trilateral meeting of Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The meeting could take place on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen on November 18-19. Moscow had already confirmed that the idea was being discussed, while Beijing had previously declined to comment. Kyiv and European capitals have raised concerns that decisions affecting Ukraine could be made without them.
