Security expert Hari Bucur Marcu explains what could be the outcome of a possible meeting between Presidents Putin and Zelenski, with Trump acting as a mediator, in Budapest.
Donald Trump recently announced that a meeting between him and Vladimir Putin could take place in Budapest, in about two weeks. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has expressed his willingness to host the event and ensure the necessary conditions for the participation of the Russian leader, despite international legal issues related to the arrest warrant issued in Putin’s name. The main purpose of the discussion would be to find a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine and a possible negotiation leading to the end of the conflict.
In case of successful negotiations, this meeting should be followed by one involving Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski. He has not received an official invitation, and details regarding the format of the meeting, the exact date, or the participants have not been clearly established.
The meeting remains a possibility, not a certainty. It depends on several political, diplomatic, and logistical factors, but if it takes place, it could represent a significant moment in the peace negotiation efforts between Russia and Ukraine, say international analysts.
The Budapest Summit, a timid and thin maneuver to prolong the inevitable
Security expert Hari Bucur Marcu explained what he believes could be the potential outcome of such a meeting.
“From all the data and information I have, from my home, this probable meeting in Budapest is nothing more than a timid and thin maneuver to prolong the inevitable in which the United States, through President Donald J. Trump, abandons the role of mediator between the aggressor Russia and the aggressed Ukraine and switches sides, as the saying goes, in favor of the Ukrainians”, the expert maintains on his Facebook page.
Among the mentioned weapons are the famous American Tomahawk cruise missiles. These missiles, the expert says, Ukraine asks from the United States not as aid or gift, but in exchange for drones developed by Ukrainians and produced in Ukraine, including by exporting the production of such weapons to American territory. “This would be music to Trump’s ears, who has a strategic policy of reindustrializing America, as anyone can figure out“, he details.
