🇺🇸🇷🇺The meeting between Trump and Putin in Hungary fell through because Rubio, after talking with Lavrov, stated that the summit “is unlikely to bring positive results in peace negotiations.”

This is reported by The Wall Street Journal citing sources in the White House.

According to the newspaper’s interlocutors, the US Secretary of State, after speaking with the Russian Foreign Minister, understood that the Kremlin still adheres to its position, which implies that “Ukraine must hand over control of all of Donbass to Russia as part of any settlement.”

Another senior Trump administration official told the publication that in a phone conversation with the US president, Putin indicated he was ready to discuss some issues that could bring Washington and Moscow closer together – so there is “some hope” for a new meeting in the future, even if it does not happen as quickly as the American leader had hoped.
