The Russo–Ukrainian war ‘is not our war, it is Biden’s war’, US President Donald Trump often likes to point out. Now, there are talks of an imminent meeting between President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia. President Putin has even suggested a location for the meeting already, the United Arab Emirates.
Rezső Erdélyi, analyst for the Hungarian Nézőpont Institute, went on Hungarian public radio to give his expert opinion on the latest development in the war on Thursday, 7 August.
He started by stating that in the short time since he returned to office, ‘the US President has achieved more in ending the Russo–Ukrainian war than the European Commission and the European Union have done in many years, and did more than the Biden administration has achieved in the same amount of time.’ He then added that the proposed meeting between President Trump and President Putin means that there is at least ‘an outline’ of a peace agreement in place.
UPDATE: Trump-Putin Meeting Time and Place Revealed
President Trump announced in a Truth Social post on Friday, 8 August that he will be meeting President Putin next Saturday, 15 August, in Alaska—the exact location is yet to be revealed.
The state of Alaska used to be Russian territory before the United States acquired it in 1867. This is the first time the Russian President will hold an in-person meeting with his American counterpart since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
