According to media reports such as the Russian news agency, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov condemned the negative remarks made by the Polish Foreign Minister of NATO member countries, Zikorski, about the Russian President Vladimir Putin's special aircraft.

Lavrov said on the same day that he had heard that Sikorsky threatened that if Putin traveled through Polish airspace to Hungary to meet with US President Trump, his special plane would not be safe while flying in Polish airspace. Lavrov also said that this shows that "Poland is now ready to launch terrorist attacks."

Trump posted on social media on the 16th local time that he and Putin had a phone conversation. The call was "fruitful" and the two sides would hold a face-to-face meeting in Hungary. According to reports from Russian newspapers and other media on the 21st, Russian Presidential Press Secretary and Kremlin Spokesperson Peskov told reporters that the specific date of the Russia-US presidential meeting has not yet been determined. Trump also said on the 21st that no relevant decision had been made on the meeting with Putin.

According to Reuters and other media reports, Poland "warned" Putin on the 21st not to travel through Polish airspace to Hungary to meet with Trump, otherwise there is no guarantee that Putin's special plane will not be forced to land in Poland so that Poland can execute the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant.

In March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against Putin, Poland being a member of the International Criminal Court, and the Russian side made it clear that the arrest warrant was ¡°lawless, provocative, and absolutely unacceptable.¡±
