US EditionTrump says he will meet Putin in Hungary for Ukraine talks after 'very productive' phone call
- On October 16, US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with President Vladimir Putin and said he would meet him in Budapest within two weeks, calling it a `Very productive call`.
- Talks centred on supplying Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv, described as having a 1,600-km range, with Trump not ruling out weapons reaching up to 2,500 kilometers.
- The Kremlin confirmed the leaders had spoken and would prepare for a summit, while Yuri Ushakov, Putin's top aide, said the call was at Russia's initiative and praised its substance.
- Diplomatic teams will quickly coordinate next steps, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to sort summit details, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet Trump at the White House on October 17.
- The Budapest venue avoids implications of an ICC arrest warrant since Hungary remains a member until June 2026, and Zelenskyy said, `We can already see that Moscow is rushing to resume dialogue as soon as it hears about Tomahawks`.
