White home informed, that the planned gathering in Budapest, announced by Trump only a week ago after his two-hour telephone conversation with Putin, would not take place after the Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrow on Monday.
Trump-Putin summit in Budapest cancelled. Jurov said that during the telephone conversation with Rubio he made it clear that Russia's demands for Ukraine had not changed. In this way it became apparent thatThe rugi summit of president Donald Trump with Russian president Vladimir Putin makes no sense.
– Secretary Rubio and abroad Minister Lavrow had a fruitful telephone conversation said an anonymous White home official. – Therefore, an additional individual gathering of the secretary with the abroad Minister is not essential and there are no plans for president Trump to meet president Putin in the close future – added.
Rapid abandonment of plans to organise another summit between Trump and Putin, just 2 months After their gathering in Alaska, was a consequence of Russia's refusal to leave her extremist stance on the conditions under which the war in Ukraine would end.
At a Tuesday press conference in Moscow, Lavrow informed Rubia that Russia's position – that the peace agreement must happen before the ceasefire in the war with Ukraine – had not changed. He besides added that he was amazed by CNN's reports of disagreement during the discussion on Russia's "maximum" demands.
– I believe that American officials have concluded that Russia's position remained fundamentally unchanged and is within the limits of its first "maximumist" demands. Russia has not changed its position compared to the agreements and prolonged negotiations between Putin and Trump in Alaska – said Lavrow.
Moscow has long called for the elimination of the "primary causes" of the war in Ukraine, claiming that its willingness to join NATO is an existential threat to Russia. Putin questioned the rightfulness of the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski and called for fresh elections in Ukraine. He besides called for the end of the persecution of Russian-speaking people and demanded that Ukraine not join NATO. He frequently intertwined his speeches on Ukraine claimsThat this country is full of Nazis.
Lavrow besides wondered how Putin would fly to Budapest, given Poland's threat that he would execute an arrest warrant issued by the global Criminal Court if Putin entered its airspace.
