Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to travel to Hungary soon for talks with US President Donald Trump on ending the war in Ukraine, despite facing an International Criminal Court arrest warrant.
The Kremlin said the content of Putin’s recent phone call with Trump must remain out of the media. During the call on Thursday, Putin told Trump that Russia remains open to a settlement in Ukraine.
US President Trump is also set to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Kremlin said the summit could take place within two weeks or later.
Trump also took to Truth Social to discuss his “lengthy” call with Putin.
“I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine,” Trump wrote.
“A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more,” the US President added.
