A possible meeting between Donald Trump, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin is drawing skepticism from Yevgeny Savostyanov, co-founder of the Democratic Russia movement. In an interview with Ukraine's Channel 24, he questions whether bringing the three leaders together would produce substantive agreements.

Host Ihor Havryshchak raises reports of a potential gathering in China. The video's description identifies November 19-20 as the possible dates, but the conversation treats the meeting as a prospect, not a confirmed engagement. Savostyanov's assessment is that expectations of a major diplomatic breakthrough are misplaced.

The discussion begins in Washington, where Havryshchak cites Axios and Reuters reporting while asking about congressional investigations into Trump-Putin dealings and future support for Ukraine. Savostyanov predicts a Congress strongly opposed to the executive branch. He distinguishes between increased political backing for Ukraine, which he expects, and the harder question of securing military and financial assistance.

Congress's practical tools, he explains, are legislation, budget approval and investigations. Those powers give lawmakers ways to influence foreign policy even when they disagree with the president. The interview does not announce a new aid package or establish the outcome of any investigation.

Savostyanov then broadens his argument to Europe. Discussing Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov's remarks about Europe's role and Moscow's demands concerning NATO's posture, he emphasizes Russia's economic interests in Europe. He predicts a new military-political alliance with a prominent Ukrainian role, arguing that European governments will increasingly have to make security decisions without relying on Washington.

A question about French nuclear-capable aircraft leads to an explanation of France's nuclear deterrent and discussion of extending its protection over Eastern Europe. Elsewhere, Savostyanov interprets Lula da Silva's Brazilian election victory as a gain for China and considers how Israel's election and Iran's nuclear ambitions affect regional calculations.

The closing section turns from diplomacy to Ukraine's strikes inside Russia. Asked about a pause in attacks on refineries, Savostyanov argues that Chinese support could sustain Russia's war finances. He advocates targeting mobilization records and Moscow's energy infrastructure as ways to increase pressure on the Kremlin. These are his strategic proposals, rather than announcements of Ukrainian operations.
