Putin proposed a talk about the solution of the problem to the three country leaders, quoted from the Anadolu Agency.
He also proposed that immediately the trilateral meeting between himself, Trump and Xi Jinping in the next month to discuss the completion of Russian and Ukrainian wars.
According to the Wall Street Journal report, Putin delivered the proposal in a phone conversation with Trump on October 9, as delivered by a former Russian intelligence officer who knew the issue.
The report says that it also produced a deal for the U.S. to buy diesel fuel from Russia and facilitate its sale on the global market.
A Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, confirms that the discussion about the possible meeting is in effect.
"There's no clear understanding of the meeting itself or his potential agenda, although all three parties admit there's a theoretical possibility that such a encounter could happen," Peskov said to the Wall Street Journal.
The U.S. senior official said that Trump has not agreed to the summit proposal, but it may be open to the idea given his desire to fulfill his campaign promise to end the war.
According to the parties who knew the conversation, the Kremlin proposed that the trilateral meeting should be held at the same time as the Asia- Pacific Economic Work Summit (APEC) scheduled at 18- 19 November in Shenzhen, China.
The former Russian intelligence officer revealed that Putin had previously proposed a trilateral summit with Trump and Xi.
Trump recently reached an agreement with Putin to buy Russian diesel fuel as an attempt to lower the price of fuel that has been weighing U.S. economy and harming the Republican Party's prospects in the short run.
On Friday last week, Trump also suspended the application against Russia based on the bipartisan laws he signed last month.
