Zelensky and Putin can meet in Budapest: why it is unacceptable for Ukraine - the media

To spread: President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and the President of the United States of America Donald Trump can negotiate the end of the war in Budapest. The appropriate measures began to be conducted by US secret services. European allies of Ukraine began to think about the introduction of a military contingent immediately after the end of the war, explained the media Politico.

Meanwhile, the White House took over a different mission - to arrange a meeting between Kiev and Moscow with the participation of the American leader. The media communicated with anonymous sources in Washington, which is claimed to be close to the US Presidential Administration. Politico interlocutors have stated that the meeting will be held in Budapest and the relevant special services are already engaged in training.

It is indicated that Trump is often in contact with Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and therefore, it is probably about this country. At the same time, they note that the secret services "often check different places" and therefore a tripartite meeting can change. "Budapest is the first choice for the White House, two people said anonymity to discuss private conversations," the media wrote. The article also reminded why Ukraine may not like the idea of Hungary.

In particular, 30 years ago, a Budapest Memorandum was made 30 years ago, through which Ukraine received security guarantees in exchange for the loss of nuclear weapons. The guarantees of "independence, sovereignty and respect for the borders" were provided by the United States, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom. "Putin's attack on Ukraine in 2014 proved the absurdity of the agreement when none of the signatories provided military forces to counteract the attacks," Politico said.

The idea of a meeting in Budapest has not yet been finding the answer of Hungary. Orban's last post on Facebook is the statement of the fact that Putin's international isolation failed and the greetings of Putin and Trump's second meeting. It should be noted that after the meeting of Trump and Putin and Alaska and Zelensky's visit to the White House, the idea of holding a tripartite or bilateral meeting of leaders to complete the war appeared.

The Russian Federation invited Zelensky to Moscow, meanwhile, the media discussed other, more realistic places: Rome, Geneva, Vienna, Istanbul and Doh. Meanwhile, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov reported that the meeting is "not excluded", but before that it is necessary to carry out full training at the local level and to ensure the rights of Russians in Ukraine.
