A diplomatic drama is unfolding as US President Donald Trump declared that a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “will happen.” The statement comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he urged a one-on-one between Moscow and Kyiv first. While the Kremlin has not ruled out direct talks, it insists any bilateral must be the final stage once concrete progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky has reportedly asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send the right signal” to Putin, pressing India’s weight as a potential mediator. Kremlin officials confirm flexibility on some issues, but warn NATO’s militarization of Ukraine makes peace elusive. With Putin currently in China, Trump’s bold promise, Kyiv’s appeals to Modi, and Moscow’s warnings against Western “peacekeepers” are shaping a high-stakes diplomatic gamble that could define the next phase of the Ukraine war.

China is hosting the SCO 2025 summit in Tianjin with over 20 world leaders, but global attention is fixed on Indian PM Narendra Modi and Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif. Just three months ago, both nations nearly went to war after a terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam killed 26 people. India responded with deep strikes in Pakistan, prompting retaliation. Now, for the first time since the conflict, the leaders will stand under the same roof. Their presence raises questions on peace, diplomacy, and China’s role in the region.
