Pundits and journalists across the political spectrum warned President Donald Trump not to accept Vladimir Putin’s suggestion of a summit between Russia, the U.S., and China to end the war in Ukraine, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Sunday.

“The plan represents an effort by Putin to capitalize on warming ties between Trump and the Russian leader that have alarmed Ukraine and its allies in Washington and Europe. Such a summit—one without the involvement of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—would be unprecedented and send alarm bells ringing in European capitals and beyond,” reported the WSJ on Sunday night, adding:

A senior U.S. official said Trump hadn’t agreed to such a summit. Still, the official said the president could be receptive to the idea, given his desire to fulfill a campaign promise to settle the war. Trump had said it would be finished on “day one” of his new term, but he is now approaching nearly two years in office.

The idea of Trump meeting without Ukrainian officials to end the Russian invasion of the country set off alarm bells.

Fox News contributor and retired CIA officer Daniel Hoffman shared the report and added, “KGB Putin feigns interest in negotiations to induce the Trump administration to back off sanctions. Three way summit with China which excludes Ukraine meant to drive a wedge between the U.S. and Europe.”

MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough added, “Mr. Trump is now Mr. Putin’s best friend in the world, after perhaps China’s Xi Jinping. When the election is over there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests.”

Below are some more reactions:

If there ever was a 3 way squeeze play to pressure Ukraine this is it. The autocrats club taking advantage of Trump’s love of strongmen and flatter his penchant for “peacemaking” to press on weakest party terms Trump might be only too happy to accept. https://t.co/hs18cCmE9Q

This has been Putin’s dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China. https://t.co/WAAMWrLI2x

a tripartite conference over Ukraine without Ukraine (China, U.S. Russia) must not be allowed to occur

A trilateral meeting between the leaders of Ukraine, the US, and Russia could help end the war sooner. A trilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia, China, and the US would do only the opposite: encourage Putin to continue this war.

Inviting Putin to such a meeting would…

Am sure Putin would love to cut Ukraine and Europe out of the discussions, and that dictator fanboy Trump will fall for it https://t.co/cxtY2rK34u

What Trump calls peace negotiations with Russia, Putin views as “distract the idiot Trump so he doesn’t impose sanctions while we keep bombing Ukraine” talks.

President Trump is signaling that he may be prepared to sign a peace agreement with Russia and dare Ukraine to reject it.

Before you scoff, consider this hypothetical scenario:

Putin proposed that he, Trump and Xi meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow. Zelensky would not be invited. @Lingling_Wei @learyreports @tggrove @jdawsey1 https://t.co/bu7xMA6Uod
