"Tthis is all reflected in many discussions," the Russian foreign minister said

Plans for President Donald Trump to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to discuss resolving the war in Ukraine are currently on hold, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

Hungary's Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, stated on Friday that the country will guarantee Russian President Vladimir Putin's entry for a planned summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest, as well as his safe return afterwards.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said Slovakia supports the planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest and is ready to assist in its organization.

U.S. President Trump expressed skepticism about the likelihood of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to resolve the war in Eastern Europe, suggesting that "maybe they have to fight a little longer."

Hungary has emerged as a potential host for talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing a U.S. administration source.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, following a Russia-U.S. summit that ended without reaching an agreement to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has lasted for over 3 1/2 years.
