According to Orban, there are “one or two unresolved issues” in the negotiations between the United States and Russia.
If they are resolved, then a peace summit could take place in Budapest “within a few days,” the Hungarian prime minister noted.
And after it, depending on the agreements of the parties, “a ceasefire and peace may follow” in the war of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, Orban said.

Trump announced on October 16 that he intended to hold a meeting with Putin in Hungary. He did not announce the date of the summit, but noted that negotiations at the level of foreign ministers were planned before this.
On October 22, Trump said he had canceled a summit with Putin in Budapest, but he said they would meet “in the future.”
On the same day, the US Treasury imposed sanctions against the Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil due to “Russia’s lack of serious commitment to the peace process aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.”
