Kremlin Weighs Possibility of Putin, Xi and Trump Talks at APEC
Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the APEC summit, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.
“It will be a good opportunity for the leaders to cross paths in one way or another on the sidelines [of the summit]. Whether it will be a separate trilateral meeting or bilateral meetings, it is difficult to say. Although it is already clear that both Putin and President Xi have agreed that they will meet in China. We will see, but the opportunity will definitely be there,” Peskov told Russian media. The Kremlin expects that Vladimir Putin will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China, Peskov said.
"We proceed from the assumption that President Putin will also attend the APEC summit," Peskov said.
Plans to attend the APEC summit were already announced earlier, the spokesman added.
The Russian president said on Friday that he intended to attend the APEC summit, but the final decision would depend on the situation in the country.
The APEC summit will be held in Shenzhen, China, on November 18–19.
Russia-US Relations Still Not in Best Shape
Relations between Russia and the United States remain at a low point, Dmitry Peskov said.
"Nevertheless, bilateral relations are still, to put it mildly, not in the best shape," Peskov said.
No Decisions Yet on Putin's Participation in G20 Summit
No decisions have yet been made on Russian President Vladimir Putin's participation in the
G20 summit in the United States, but Russia will in any case actively take part in the G20's work, Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday.
"Such decisions have not yet been made. All circumstances will be taken into account. But in any case, Russia will actively participate in the work of the G20," Peskov said.
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington had invited Putin to attend the G20 summit in Miami. Peskov said then that Russia was grateful and would consider it.
Russia Has Necessary Potential to Ensure Its Security
Russia has the necessary potential, including military, to reliably ensure its security, Peskov said.
"Russia has, in fact, the necessary potential for any actions. Technologically and in the military sense, Russia possesses potential that reliably ensures its security," Peskov said.
Allowing Starlink for Strikes Deep Into Russia Would Be Reckless Step
The possible provision of Starlink satellite systems to Ukraine for strikes deep into Russia would be a potentially dangerous and reckless step, Dmitry Peskov said.
"As for providing Musk's satellite systems for strikes deep into Russia, this would be a very harmful, potentially dangerous and reckless step," Peskov said.
On Friday, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said in an interview with Reuters that he had asked SpaceX head Elon Musk to allow Ukraine to use Starlink for strikes on Russian territory.
