Putin–Zelensky Meeting May Be Held in Hungary Amid Debate Over Neutral Venue
Tuesday, 19 August 2025 () A high-stakes meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky could take place in Hungary, according to reports from Reuters. The development comes as Europe and the U.S. weigh multiple neutral venues for landmark peace talks expected in the coming weeks. Hungary Considered as a Possible Host According to a senior U.S. administration official cited by Reuters, Budapest is being discussed as a possible site for the bilateral talks. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also confirmed that negotiations between the two presidents are expected within the next two weeks. However, Hungarian journalist and editor-in-chief of moszkvater.com, Gabor Stier, expressed doubts about Hungary as a viable location. He argued that the choice would be “unacceptable” for both Moscow and Kyiv since Hungary is a NATO and EU member state. Stier suggested instead that Istanbul or Saudi Arabia would be more realistic options.
