The Telegraph: The meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Budapest will deal a painful blow to the European Union

Donald Trump's announcement about a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest to discuss the situation in Ukraine is considered a major challenge for Europe. The publication emphasizes that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, as the host, will strengthen his authority, thus complicating the European Union's efforts to diminish his power. This is a blow to those in the EU who hoped that Orban could be removed by Peter Magyar, the pro-European leader of the opposition.

In a recent phone conversation, Trump and Putin discussed the crisis in Ukraine, and Orban confirmed that preparations for the summit are already underway. This meeting could have significant implications for European politics and international relations.
