U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest, Hungary, for high-stakes talks aimed at ending the Ukraine war.
The summit, tentatively slated for the next two weeks, follows a prior in-person meeting in Alaska in August that yielded no immediate resolution but set the stage for further engagement.
Budapest was selected as a neutral ground, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán— a Trump ally and Putin confidant—already coordinating preparations.
