Russian Assistant President Ussakov confirmed on the 16th that Putin expressed support for Trump's proposal to hold a meeting with Russian leaders in Budapest. The Washington Post said that despite the Russian government's intention to challenge the agreement with Ukrainian President Zelensky on this day, the Russian government could "expect the importance of the U.S. leadership to provide Ukraine with "Tax" missiles and other weapons systems so that the U.S. military can carry out

The call was initiated by the Russian side and lasted about two and a half hours.

According to the Associated Press, on November 16, after a call with Putin, Trump issued a statement saying he would hold a new meeting with Putin and I believe today¡¯s telephone talks have made great progress.¡± Trump wrote on his self-created social platform ¡°Real Social¡± that the two sides agreed to hold a US-Russian high-level meeting next week, the US delegation will be headed by Secretary of State Ruby O¡¯Leary, where the meeting is still to be determined. After the high-level meeting, he and Putin will meet in Budapest to discuss how to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. That afternoon, Trump in the White House revealed more details to the media, including he will meet with Putin ¡°in two weeks.¡±

Russian Assistant President Ussakov said on Saturday that the call, initiated by the Russian side and lasting about two and a half hours, discussed topics such as Russian-US relations and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, "with a rich amount of information and an extremely sincere attitude." Ussakov said that Putin supported Trump's proposal to hold a meeting of the two leaders in Budapest.

Ushakov also said that Trump emphasized during the call that ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict will open up broad prospects for Russia-US economic cooperation.

According to the Russian Business Consulting News Agency, this call is the eighth telephone conversation between the two presidents in the past eight months, and it is also the first call between the two sides in two months.

The New York Times said that the call seemed to quickly change the attitude of the US government towards Russia. Before the call on the 16th, Trump accused Russia of continuing to attack Ukraine, undermining his efforts to mediate peace; After the latest call, Trump's tone was much friendlier. Especially when asked about Congress's plan to consider the sanctions bill against Russia as soon as possible, Trump responded that "the time may not be ripe enough now".

White House spokesman Levitt said on Friday that Trump still believes it is "possible" for Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky to hold direct negotiations to end the Ukrainian conflict, "I think the president (Trump) has not closed the door at all."

Putin mentioned "Tomahawk"

Zelensky announced his arrival in Washington on the evening of the 16th through social media.While he did not directly mention the planned meeting between Trump and Putin, he noted that ¡°we have seen that Moscow is eager to resume the dialogue as soon as it hears the news of the ¡®Tax¡¯ missile.¡±

According to Ukraine News Agency, Zelensky went to the White House to meet with Trump at the invitation of the United States. The two sides planned to hold a lunch meeting for about one hour on the 17th, after which Trump will travel to Florida. Reported that this will be Trump's sixth meeting with Zelensky after returning to the presidency in January this year. The last time the two presidents met was on September 23, during the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Ukraine's Kiev Independent newspaper said that Zelensky is expected to ask Trump to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles during the meeting. The missile has a range of 2500 kilometers and can enhance the Ukrainian army's ability to launch long-range strikes into Russia. Uzbekistan believes that attacks on economic assets such as oil infrastructure will increase Russia's war costs and ultimately push it towards peace talks.

Recently, Trump has hinted that unless Russia changes its negotiating stance, he may provide Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. However, some analysts said that even if the United States decides to provide Tomahawk missiles, Uzbekistan will need several years to deploy relevant equipment and train personnel.

The New York Times said that after talking with Putin on the 16th, Trump's attitude towards providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine changed, which means that he once again hopes to negotiate with Russia to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump said at the White House on the 16th:"We do have a lot of Tomahawk missiles, but we also need them ourselves. We cannot exhaust our own weapons reserves for other countries." Trump also revealed that he would inform Zelensky of the details of his dialogue with Putin on the 17th.

According to reports, Putin reiterated in his conversation with Trump that the "Tax" missile will not change the situation on the battlefield, but will only cause "significant damage" to Russian-US relations and mediation operations around the crisis in Ukraine.

The BBC said that for Zelensky, the US-Russian leader's call was undoubtedly an "unpopular accident".BBC said that before boarding the plane to Washington, he seemed to think that things were developing in a direction that was in his favor, and the two-and-a-half-hour call by the Russian side to Trump took his "opportunity" to some extent.

U.S. cable news network (CNN) said the Kremlin¡¯s time to talk with the White House was ¡°quite perfect¡± and was equivalent to trying at the end of the day to stop the dangerous discussions about ¡°the U.S. provision of ¡®strike ax¡¯ missiles to Ukraine¡± continued.

RIA Novosti said that Martinov, an expert at the University of Finance and Finance of the Russian Federal Government, believes that it is difficult for the US-Uzbekistan leaders 'meeting on the 17th to achieve a breakthrough in resolving the Russia-Uzbekistan conflict, but direct contact between Russia-US leaders may bring some "exciting" progress.

Budapest is ready.

On the 16th, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban posted on social media confirming that Trump and Putin planned to meet in Budapest, and said, "We are ready." Orban also revealed that he has been speaking ordinary, and the relevant work for meeting U.S.-Russian leaders is being prepared. Multiple media said that this time Trump and Putin will meet in Budapest "not by chance." The Washington Post said that as the most friendly leader in the EU to Russia, Orban is committed to becoming the "bridge" between the United States and Russia.

In 1994, Ukraine abandoned and destroyed the world¡¯s third largest nuclear arsenal in accordance with the Budapest Security Memorandum in exchange for U.S., UK and Russia¡¯s national security and independence guarantees. The Spanish Secret Journal analyzed that Hungary officially withdrew from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on June 2, which made it the only non-member of the International Criminal Court in the EU, without the need to execute an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Putin.

The New York Times, however, cited U.S. foreign policy experts as saying that the Trump-Putin meeting was far from a ¡°plate nail,¡± which may depend on whether the next week¡¯s U.S.-Russian high-level meeting would be successful. Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine and director of the Eurasian Centre at the Atlantic Council, Hubster, said: ¡°The meeting could break down when they start dealing with actual issues.¡±

Dmitryev, President of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and Russian President¡¯s Special Representative for Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation, said: ¡°Every time the conflict in Russia is approaching the dawn of peace, European war promoters and anti-Russian forces are repeating the same behavior ¨C trying to disrupt the peace process.¡±
