Budapest Summit Sparks EU Tensions as Putin Meets Trump

The Hungarian president, Viktor Orban, has always maintained warm relations with Moscow and President Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s planned meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest has sent shockwaves through the European Union, raising concerns about the bloc’s unity on Ukraine. The summit, hosted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, marks the first time Putin will set foot in an EU and NATO member state since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.

For many European leaders, the optics are troubling. Putin remains under an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes, yet Hungary has pledged to guarantee his safe passage. EU foreign ministers have voiced unease, warning that the meeting risks undermining the bloc’s solidarity with Kyiv at a critical moment in the war.

Supporters of the summit, including Orbán, frame it as a step toward peace negotiations. Critics, however, argue that it hands Moscow a symbolic victory, allowing Putin to project influence within the EU while Ukraine continues to fight for survival. The gathering underscores the deep divisions within Europe over how best to confront Russia’s aggression—and whether diplomacy with Putin strengthens peace or weakens principle.
