Trump called Putin on Thursday and announced that the two sides will meet in Budapest, Hungary, with the date to be determined, aiming to push for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. This move comes ahead of Zelenskyy's scheduled visit to the White House on Friday, highlighting a new round of efforts by Washington in mediating the war. At the same time, the momentum within the Republican Party to increase pressure on Moscow is intensifying. According to Associated Press, the White House is quietly re-focusing on the long-stalled bipartisan sanctions bill against Russia in Congress; on the same day, John Thune, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, told the media, "It's time," "We must act," implying that the bill may soon be brought back to the agenda.
