US eyes Budapest for Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy meet; Russia signals gradual approach

The White House is reportedly considering Budapest for a high-stakes trilateral meeting between Presidents Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy. While the US Secret Service prepares in Hungary, Moscow prefers Russia as the venue, and France suggested Geneva. This follows Trump's Alaska meeting with Putin, with discussions ongoing regarding security guarantees for Ukraine and potential peacekeeping missions, despite Russian officials slowing progress.
