As Russian President Putin and U.S. President Trump may meet in Budapest, Western media has been continuously speculating about various route options for Putin's plane traveling to Hungary. Hungary is a NATO and EU member state, and also borders Ukraine.
According to industry media "Air Live", the most likely route for Putin flying to Budapest is via the Black Sea, Turkey, the Mediterranean, Montenegro, and Serbia. It is expected that Putin's plane will be escorted by Russian and Turkish fighter jets to prevent potential threats.
Regarding the upcoming meeting between Putin and Trump in Budapest, Zelenskyy and his European allies are angry and obviously will not accept any initiatives toward a settlement with Russia. Meanwhile, Putin and Trump are likely to mainly discuss the Russian-American agenda, including the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, diplomatic relations, and other issues, and the Ukraine conflict will not be a major topic.
Meanwhile, the British "Daily Telegraph" said that Trump's meeting with Putin in Budapest is "a huge humiliation for the EU, but a great blessing for Orbán." The newspaper pointed out that in addition to Orbán having close relationships with both Trump and Putin, the choice of Budapest as the meeting place may also be because Hungary recently withdrew from the International Criminal Court, meaning that Hungary will not arrest Putin after he arrives.
