U.S. Secretary of State Rubio confirmed today that discussions are underway regarding a potential trilateral summit among the United States, China, and Russia aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

Comment: At this stage, these are preliminary consultations, with no formal agreement on holding a meeting, let alone reaching a peace accord. The divergences between Ukraine and Russia on core issues such as territory and security remain substantial. Even if such a summit were to take place, the negotiation challenges would remain formidable.
