Kremlin spokesman says Moscow to also use summit in Hungary to discuss bilateral ties with US, adds preparations ahead of talks are only just beginning - Anadolu Ajansı

Polish diplomatic sources believe it is highly unlikely that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin would choose to fly over Polish airspace on his way to a planned meeting with US President Donald Trump in Budapest.

Budapest has been selected for a significant summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, due to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's strong relations with both leaders.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Budapest wasn’t the best place for talks to end the war in Ukraine because of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Russia-friendly stance, but he’d still come if invited.

The Kremlin said on Monday that Budapest was chosen as the venue for a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warm ties with Trump and constructive ties with Putin.

The prospect of Vladimir Putin, who is wanted for war crimes, entering EU territory loomed over a meeting of foreign affairs ministers on Monday. View on euronews
