Trump administration officials have indicated that the host of a possible tripartite peace meeting of the US, Russia and Ukraine may Budapest the Hungarian capital. This initiative is considered to be the next phase of talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war that has been going on for years.
American intelligence agencies are already preparing for security and arrangements in Budapest. Hungary Prime Minister Victor Orban has been close to Trump for a long time, which seems to be getting political and strategic support for the selection of this place. However, the Secret Service officials say that the last place may also change due to security reasons. Yet Budapest is currently the first choice of America.
Which places are being discussed in the name of the places?
Moscow, Geneva and Switzerland are also being discussed for the possible tripartite peace meeting of the presidents of Russia and Ukraine. On this, President Putin described Moscow as a primary place, while French President Macron has called Geneva as the right place. At the same time, Switzerland tried to host himself, citing neutrality and even offered that if the meeting is there, then the way can be taken out to exempt the warrant of War Crime on Putin.
What is 1994 Budapest Memorandum?
Budapest is a sensitive and uncomfortable option for Ukraine. In the 1994 Budapest memorandum, the US, Britain and Russia promised to respect Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and its borders. In turn, Ukraine left its nuclear weapons, but in 2014 Putin’s attack on Ukraine made the agreement irrelevant. At that time no country helped Ukraine with military force. This is the reason that on hearing the name of Budapest, it brings back memories of the past for Ukraine.
Role of European leaders and Trump’s activism
German Chancellor Frederick Mars recently held a meeting with Jailonski and other European leaders at the White House. He indicated that a meeting between Putin and Jailonski could be held in a few weeks. After this, Trump announced on social media that he himself will hold a tripartite meeting with Putin and Jailonsky. After his recent meeting with Putin in Alaska, this initiative has got a new momentum.
Will Budapest a witness to the historic agreement?
Although the preparation is fast, the success of the meeting is still uncertain. Putin has a demand from Russia to discuss his terms and root causes. Ukraine is still cautious about security and trust. America is presenting this meeting as the final stage of the peace process.
