In which city might the Putin-Zelensky meeting take place?

On Monday, a meeting on the war in Ukraine was held at the White House in Washington, D.C. While the participants, European leaders, claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, many wondered where this important (perhaps decisive) summit might take place.

Vladimir Putin, who was on the phone with Donald Trump on Monday evening, offered to meet with the Ukrainian president in the Russian capital, Moscow. This is at least what three sources close to the matter are reporting, one of whom claimed that Zelensky had refused this offer.

French President Emmanuel Macron, for his part, mentioned the Swiss city of Geneva for the one-on-one meeting. Switzerland is a neutral country that has declared itself ready to offer Putin "immunity," despite his indictment before the International Criminal Court, reports the media outlet 20 Minutes. The condition? That the Kremlin leader go there "for a peace conference."

A Tripartite Meeting

If this long-awaited and hoped-for meeting proves successful, another meeting could take place, this time with the American president in the equation.

According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking on Fox News on Tuesday, this tripartite meeting could take place in Budapest; information which was also relayed by the newspaper Politico.
