Zelenskyy eyes invite to Trump-Putin talks in Budapest
"Trump continues to try to force an end to the fighting, which has been ongoing since Russia invaded its neighbour in February 2022. The US leader has not presented any detailed proposals, and wavers in his approach. But he has grown increasingly frustrated with faltering peace efforts. In recent months, he expressed disappointment at Putin for not making meaningful concessions after the two met in Alaska in August."
"The Ukrainian president is wary of the setting for the meeting in Budapest, given Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's warm relations with Moscow and antagonistic approach to Kyiv. list of 3 itemsend of list If I am invited to Budapest if it is an invitation in a format where we meet as three or, as it's called, shuttle diplomacy, President Trump meets with Putin and President Trump meets with me then in one format or another, we will agree, Zelenskyy said."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is willing to attend a summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin if invited, but is wary of Budapest as a venue because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban maintains warm relations with Moscow and an antagonistic approach to Kyiv. No date for the planned summit has been set, though it is expected in the coming weeks. Donald Trump continues to press for an end to the fighting that began with Russia's February 2022 invasion, while lacking detailed proposals and shifting positions, including proposing long-range Tomahawk missiles and later calling to freeze current battle lines.
