The planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin in Budapest has sparked a sharp reaction in the European Union. European diplomats believe that holding negotiations on the territory of an EU member state without the participation of Brussels is a humiliation for Europe and a “political nightmare.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by El Pais<\/a> .<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the publication’s interlocutors, Brussels emphasizes that the summit in the Hungarian capital calls into question the unity of the EU and its role in the issue of peace in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

One European diplomat noted that “the location was chosen very carefully, it could benefit Russia because it deepens the differences in the EU regarding the Kremlin. And it could also do a huge favor for Orban, who is facing elections in the country next year.”<\/p>\n

The European Commission has officially stated that not all meetings are taking place in the “desired format”, but if they contribute to “a just and lasting peace for Ukraine”, this should be welcomed.<\/p>\n

Despite this, most diplomats express concern that talks between Trump and Putin without the participation of Kyiv or Brussels could legitimize the Russian leader and weaken Europe’s position.<\/p>\n

Recall that US President Donald Trump announced on September 16 that he would meet with the Kremlin leader in Hungary<\/a> , without specifying the date. According to him, the purpose of the summit is to discuss possible ways to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. This will be preceded by a meeting of high-level advisers. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban offered himself as a mediator during the negotiations.<\/p>\n

As is known, preparations are underway in Budapest for a meeting between<\/a> US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Later, it was reported that Hungary does not plan to arrest Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on a warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC)<\/a> when he arrives in Budapest to meet with US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
