https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/21/plans-for-trump-putin-talks-in-budapest-shelvedPlans to hold a summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Budapest have been put on hold as Ukraine and its European allies rallied in pushing for a ceasefire without territorial concessions from Kyiv.
The White House said there were now no plans for the US president to meet his Russian counterpart in the immediate future as a round of diplomacy at the end of last week failed to yield any significant progress towards ending the war.
The comment followed a Monday phone call between Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, and Sergei Lavrov, Russias foreign minister, at which Lavrov said his countrys negotiating position remained unchanged.
Lavrov said: I want to officially confirm: Russia has not changed its position compared to the understandings that were reached during the Alaska summit. He had told Rubio this the day before, he added.
