Trump ♫ Putin meeting is not expected “soon”

A high-level official in Washington was quoted as saying that “soon” is not expected a meeting, some unnamed news agencies quoted him unanimously. Initially, US Foreign Ministers Marco Rubio and Russian top diplomat Sergey Lavrov were scheduled to meet this week to prepare the two presidents' summit in Budapest. But after a telephone conversation between Rubios and Lavor on Monday (19.10.2025) a meeting is no longer necessary, it becomes known. There is no official confirmation of this yet. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, meanwhile, hinted there is no rush over the two presidents' meeting. Serious preparations --” -- are necessary for this appointment.

Russia will not freeze fighting on front lines

Unlike US President Donald Trump's proposal, Russia will not freeze fighting on the current front line. If we stop like this, that means, to forget the causes of this” conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the Russian state news agency Tass. That also means, “that much of Ukraine remain under the leadership of a Nazi regime”. Russian propaganda repeatedly claims that there is a right government in Ukraine. The idea of an immediate ceasefire conflicts with the Russian-American agreement in Alaska, Lavrov said. Trump and Putin met in August in Alaska under US efforts for a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine, however, this meeting did not have tangible results. /Periscopi/
