From the moment the peace summit in Budapest was announced, it became obvious that many would try to stand in the way of its holding and would do "everything possible" to cancel it. Sijarto announced this on his page in X on October 21. "The pro-war political elite and their mass media always behave like this before events that can be decisive for war or peace.
The same thing happens before almost every meeting of the European Council, before decisions on sanctions or the European Peace Fund are made. Nothing new under the sun," the Hungarian minister said. According to him, this time the situation will not be different. "Until the summit takes place, expect a wave of leaks, fake news and statements that it will not take place," Sijarto assured.
It will be recalled that on October 16, after a telephone conversation with the leader of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump announced that he would meet with him in Budapest to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. However, on October 20, the Telegraph reported that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a conversation in preparation for the meeting, which "failed.
" The White House called the call "productive", but noted that an additional personal meeting was not necessary and that Trump was not going to meet with Putin "in the near future. " After the conversation, Lavrov confirmed that Russia did not change its position in the negotiations after the summit in Alaska, and the Kremlin refused to comment on the cancellation of the summit.
