Hungary is ready to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Thursday, after reports that Budapest is the White House’s preferred venue for a possible summit with Presidents Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Reuters reported.
Szijjarto dismissed claims that Trump called Prime Minister Viktor Orban about Ukraine’s EU bid, insisting “there was no such call.” The White House confirmed the two leaders spoke Monday about Ukraine’s accession talks and the option of Budapest hosting negotiations.
