“From the moment the peace summit was announced in Budapest, it was obvious that many would do everything in their power to prevent it from happening. Pro-war political elites and their media always behave this way before events that may prove decisive for war and peace,” the head of Hungarian diplomacy noted on Platform X.

What does Donald Trump think about the possibility of meeting Putin?
He added that “the same thing happens before almost every meeting of the European Council, before decisions on sanctions or the European Peace Facility.” “Until the summit takes place, expect a wave of leaks, fake news and statements that it will not take place,” he noted.
White House Statement. There are no plans for a meeting between Trump and Putin
On Tuesday, the White House announced that – contrary to previous announcements – it is not planning a meeting of the leaders of the US and Russia in the near future. The reason was said to be differences in positions on ending the war in Ukraine.
Last week, US President Donald Trump announced – after a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin – that he would meet him in Budapest. Trump announced that during the meeting in Hungary, the leaders would try to “put an end to the 'infamous' war between Russia and Ukraine.”
Now the US president has announced that although he has not yet made a decision about the summit, he “does not want a wasted meeting and wasted time.”
