What to know

  • Putin plans his first personal APEC attendance since 2017, but the Kremlin sees minimal chance of him attending Trump's G-20 summit in Florida.
  • Russian officials are exploring a potential trilateral summit with Putin, Xi, and Trump at APEC—contingent on Trump's own attendance at the summit.
  • Kremlin sources cite disappointment in Trump's Ukraine envoys and minimal expected progress on peace negotiations before the G-20.
  • Putin's international mobility remains constrained by sanctions, security concerns, and an ICC arrest warrant, making his APEC trip his most significant public platform since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

“There's only a very slim prospect of him joining President Trump for the G-20 in Florida.”
