Trump cancels meeting with Putin

On October 22, local time, US President Trump said that he thought it was "inappropriate" to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin now, soCancelled meeting with Putin in Budapest¡£

Trump said he was pleased with every conversation he had with Putin.But no progress was madeAlthough it seems that the two sides have failed to reach the goal, the meeting will be held again in the future.

Trump also said he believes it is time to impose sanctions on Russia and hopes they will not last long.

White House officials said on Monday that Trump and Putin would not have face-to-face talks on the Ukraine issue in Hungary¡¯s capital Budapest recently, and that the arrangements for the meetings had been ¡°postponed¡±.

Why is the meeting scheduled to ¡°brake¡±?

Trump said on the 21st,He didn¡¯t want to hold a meaningless meeting and didn¡¯t want to waste time.Trump said: ¡°We haven¡¯t made a decision yet.¡±

Analysts argue that Trump¡¯s remarks have implied answers to why the meeting was postponed.

A senior White House official told Reuters that the decision was made after U.S. Secretary of State Rubio spoke to Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov on Friday.Lavrov said in the call that implementing the substance of what was previously reached in Alaska is more important than determining the time and place of the last meeting between the two presidents.

U.S. President Trump posted on social media on the 16th that he would hold a face-to-face meeting with Putin in Budapest. But he did not mention the specific date of the two men's meeting.

During the White House meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky on the 17th, Trump called on the Russian side to "on the ground" a ceasefire, each declaring "victory".According to U.S. media disclosure, during the White House talks, Trump pressured Zelensky to demand Ukraine to compromise on territorial issues to quickly a ceasefire, the two were disappointed after being rejected.

In his phone call with rubio, Lavrov reiterated Russia's position: rejecting any "ceasefire first" plan and freezing the existing front proposal; Russia controls the entire Donbass region in exchange for a "comprehensive peace agreement".

According to reports, Lavrov also said on the 21st that Russia's position is consistent with that at the Russia-US leaders 'summit in Alaska in August."I believe that US officials have reached the conclusion thatRussia¡¯s position remains essentially unchanged over time.¡±¡£

Within a few days, Trump encountered double rejection from Russia. Obviously, under the premise that Russiains its respective positions and there is no guarantee of results,Trump said the two sides were not ready to negotiate seriously and that the meeting was a ¡°waste of time.¡±

Russia claims difficulties in arranging Russia-US summit

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said on Monday that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Rubio have not yet reached an agreement on the first Russian dollar meeting in Budapest.There are no major obstacles to the process of arranging the meeting between the Russian and American heads of state in Budapest, but there are some difficulties¡£

According to TASS news agency, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said at a media briefing that day when answering whether preparations for the meeting were suspended: "There is no news yet. Obviously all this is full of rumors." Peskov saidThe current stagnation requires intervention at the highest level between Russia and the United States.¡£

Hungary is still preparing.

The US and Europe have intensive diplomatic actions

On October 22 local time, Hungarian Foreign Minister Seyardo visited Washington and held talks with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio.

Afterwards, Seattle posted on social media that the United States did not give up hosting the Budapest Summit, Seattle said,Preparations are ongoing, and the only issue is timing, not intention.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Monday that preparations for the US-Russian president's previously scheduled meeting in Hungary's capital Budapest are still underway, but the exact date has not been determined, but the Hungarian side will ensure that the meeting will be held smoothly.

On Monday, Slovak Prime Minister Fitzgerald said:If the EU really wants peace in Ukraine, the EU must do everything it can to make the Russian-American meeting happen as soon as possible.At the same time, Fico said the EU has become a ¡°war cabinet¡± with a considerable number of member states naively believing that by supporting Ukraine it could ¡°weaken or even defeat Russia in the conflict.¡±

Analysts believe that in order to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States can not be left without European support. If the United States and Europe cannot remain united on the Ukrainian issue, the Ukrainian conflict will be difficult to resolve through diplomatic means, which has become a US-European consensus.

Trump¡¯s meeting with Putin has been postponed, but the US-European diplomatic action is intense.NATO has been coordinating European member states to buy weapons from the United States for shipment to Ukraine. Trump met with NATO Secretary General Rutte at the White House on the 22nd; On the 23rd, the EU will hold a summit in Brussels, possibly discussing more economic sanctions against Russia; A meeting of the "coalition of willingness" composed of countries supporting Ukraine will also be held in London, England.

The French Presidential Office issued a joint statement of several European leaders on the Ukraine issue on Monday, saying it "strongly supports" Trump's position on the Ukraine issue, that Russia and Ukraine immediately cease fire, taking the current front as the starting point for negotiations.

The EU also plans to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine and is drafting a new proposal to end the conflict, including a ceasefire on the existing front, an exchange of prisoners of war and security for Ukraine.
