Newtalk新聞 俄羅斯總統助理烏沙科夫（Yury Ushakov）昨（21）日表示，美國總統川普特使威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）赴俄羅斯與總統普丁（Vladimir Putin）會面期間，雙方討論了今年11月在中國深圳舉行的亞太經濟合作會議（APEC）期間，中華人民共和國、美利堅合眾國及俄羅斯三國元首舉行會談的可能性。烏沙科夫指出，中美俄均未排除這項構想，並稱中方已著手進行相關籌備工作。 烏沙科夫表示，三國領導人是否能在深圳舉行首次三方會晤，是國際社會高度關注的議題。他指出，身為APEC領導人會議東道主，中國已開始為相關會晤進行籌備，若各方條件允許，中方將可能把三方會談納入深圳會議期間的活動議程。他並透露，俄方已針對三國可能舉行的會談內容，提出若干具體且具實務性的建議。不過，三方會晤目前尚未正式敲定。 而川普於台北時間今（22）日凌晨也曾被媒體問及美國、俄羅斯與中國舉行核裁軍會談的可能性。川普表示，各方將舉行相關會議，並會將這項議題納入討論。不過，當被問及是否有信心促成中國與俄羅斯參與時，川普坦言，無法保證會談一定成行，但認為舉行一場討論「非核化」的會議是件好事。延伸閱讀：童文薰觀點》「新雅爾達」還是三方去核？深圳談判桌上的菜單必須是核彈頭威特科夫赴俄提和平方案！川普稱不排除單獨會普丁 施壓澤連斯基停戰澤連斯基控美國斷情資、倒向俄羅斯！盧比歐怒駁：他該先專心怎麼結束戰爭俄烏談判淪「兩場平行劇本」! 烏拒讓頓巴斯 CNN:澤連斯基準備「單打獨鬥」一天2架次運-9擾日 日防省：2026上半年442次緊急起飛99%應對中俄
