Ushakov: Meeting Between Putin and Trump at APEC Summit in China Is Almost Inevitable In a conversation with journalist Pavel Zarubin, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov commented on a hypothetical scenario where the Russian and U.S. leaders might cross paths at the November APEC summit in China. "If the leaders are at the same event, it seems to me they will inevitably meet and talk," he said. No concrete signals about summit preparations have been received yet. With three months to go, Moscow is focused on other major international events.

This openness to contact shows that Russia is not closing the door to direct high-level dialogue, despite the current geopolitical turbulence. The main news of Russia and the world is here.
