"The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on Monday he would be ready to join Russia's Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, at their summit in Hungary if he is invited. Trump and Putin are expected to meet in the Hungarian capital, possibly in a matter of weeks, as the US leader continues to try to broker a peace deal to end the three-and-a-half-year war."
"Donald Trump on Sunday suggested the best way to end the war in Ukraine would be to cut up the Donbas region, leaving most of it to Russia. The US president told reporters: Let it be cut the way it is, adding: They can negotiate something later on down the line. The comments came after a tense White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which Trump reportedly put pressure on the Ukrainian president to give up swaths of territory."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy would be ready to join Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at a summit in Budapest if invited. Trump and Putin are expected to meet in the Hungarian capital possibly within weeks as Trump pursues a peace deal to end the three-and-a-half-year war. Zelenskyy set conditions for a three-way or shuttle-diplomacy format and indicated agreement could be reached in an appropriate format. Zelenskyy criticised Hungary's Viktor Orban, saying a prime minister who blocks Ukraine everywhere cannot provide a balanced contribution for Ukrainians. Trump suggested partitioning the Donbas region, leaving most to Russia, after a tense White House meeting where he reportedly pressed Zelenskyy to cede territory. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas expressed unease about Putin potentially traveling to an EU member state for talks.
