Live Stream of Ukraine Conflict: Potential Diplomatic Meetings in Budapest Reflection in Site Visits
As the world watches with bated breath, a potential historic summit between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and U.S. President Donald Trump remains a hope rather than a scheduled event.
In a significant development, Trump and Putin met in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 15, 2025, with Trump indicating that arrangements had "begun" for a face-to-face meeting between Putin and Zelensky, followed by a trilateral summit. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov later stated that no agenda was ready for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, and thus no meeting was planned or imminent.
Zelensky and his team have been actively engaging with Trump, setting up virtual meetings with European leaders around the time of Trump's meetings. Yet, no official announcement of the location or time for the three-way summit has been made.
Despite Zelensky's willingness and Trump's optimism, Putin and Russian officials have consistently avoided committing to a meeting with Zelensky. Reports suggest that the proposed meeting between Zelensky and Putin is to take place in Budapest, with the trilateral meeting, including Trump, planned to follow.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the Ukraine summit at the White House, stating that his expectations were exceeded. However, the exact date and time for these meetings remain uncertain, with U.S. officials emphasizing that negotiations are ongoing but difficult, and the prospect of an immediate peace deal remains uncertain.
It's worth noting that Zelensky has agreed to meet Putin without preconditions, but Moscow is reportedly resisting a meeting between the two leaders. The article does not provide details about the agenda or topics to be discussed during the meetings, nor does it mention any specific preparations or negotiations leading up to the proposed meetings.
In summary, as we stand in late August 2025, a bilateral and trilateral summit involving Zelensky, Putin, and Trump remains a hope rather than a scheduled event, with no formal meeting date or venue announced. The world waits with anticipation as diplomatic efforts continue.
