Hungary Ready to Host Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks

Hungary has reiterated its offer to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, with Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto emphasizing the country's readiness to provide fair and safe conditions for negotiations. The offer, which Hungary has made twice before, remains open as the White House reportedly considers Budapest as a potential venue for a trilateral summit involving U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. While U.S. Secret Service preparations for such a meeting in Hungary are reportedly underway, Szijjarto denied claims that President Trump had called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to discuss Ukraine's accession to the European Union. This denial clarifies conflicting reports amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to facilitate peace talks and end the war in Ukraine. Hungary's willingness to contribute to the success of peace efforts positions it as a key potential mediator in the conflict resolution process.
