In a recent development, President Trump claims to have played a significant role in halting eight conflicts, including securing a ceasefire in Gaza. He now anticipates resolving the ongoing war in Ukraine by engaging in talks with Putin in Hungary, under the hosting of Viktor Orban. This meeting between the two leaders has sparked curiosity and concern given their authoritarian backgrounds.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is heading to the White House for discussions with Trump, seeking support for supplying Kyiv with long-range Tomahawk missiles to potentially shift the war’s dynamics. However, Trump’s recent phone conversation with Putin appeared to downplay the possibility of providing such weaponry to Ukraine, fearing strained relations with Russia.
During the call, Trump expressed the need for Tomahawk missiles for the U.S. and hinted at Putin’s reluctance to support selling them to Ukraine. Despite the tension, both leaders agreed to meet in Budapest, following their Alaska summit.
The choice of Budapest for their upcoming meeting holds symbolic significance, as it was where the 1994 agreement on Ukraine’s sovereignty was signed.
