Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was delighted to receive such a development and called Hungary "the island of peace". Despite the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant, Hungary guarantees Putin protection.
Putin's plane, according to analysts, will follow a southern route through Turkey, Greece, Montenegro and Serbia, landing near Szeged, avoiding enemy countries.
The plans include emergency landings on reserve runways, with tight security. Putin is getting warnings again. He received a warning from his close ally not to travel to Hungary because of the alleged 'British conspiracy'.
"Don't go, I'm worried"
Namely, as Express writes, Andrei Bezrukov, a former colonel of the Russian SVR foreign intelligence service and a professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, warned Putin that Budapest could be a 'trap for British intelligence'.
"Don't go to Budapest. I'm worried," Bezrukov said on Vladimir Solovyov's show on Russian state television.
He suggested moving the meeting to Dubai, a neutral location, to avoid what he called an"absolutely sneaky operation" by the British.
Bezrukov, whose espionage career was exposed in 2010 in a major FBI operation against Russian agents in the US, claims that the British elite see Putin as the main threat.
"The whole mentality of the British is structured so that if Putin does not exist, there is no problem. Russia will fall apart," he declared.
He added that London's ruling class, faced with the"decline" of Great Britain, was ready to risk everything, including World War III, to eliminate the Russian leader.
But Bezrukov did not provide any concrete evidence for his claims. British officials called the claims absurd. MI5 recently warned of Russian hybrid threats. Analysts see this as classic Russian disinformation.
The ceasefire in Ukraine should be discussed at the meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest.
Volodymyr Zelensky expressed concern, calling the possible deal a 'nightmare' for Kyiv. After the meeting at the White House, Zelensky urged Trump not to give in to Russian demands and to consider the delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
Sijarto confirmed - Putin is safe
And that Hungary will ensure that Putin can enter its territory unhindered for the purpose of meeting with Trump, and that he will successfully return to Russia, the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs said recently.
"There is no need to consult with anyone about it, we are a sovereign country here. We will receive Putin with respect, host him and provide conditions for him to negotiate with the American president," he said.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, known for criticizing EU sanctions against Russia, sees an opportunity to position Hungary as a neutral mediator.
"Budapest is an ideal place for dialogue between world powers," said Orban's advisor Balazs Orban, recalling the successful hosting of Netanyahu. However, this move is causing criticism in Brussels and among NATO members.
