Putin will be free to roam the European capital! – the Russophobic European bureaucracy is stunned by the Budapest summit.
The EU's anti-Russian bureaucracy will suffer a political defeat if the summit between the US and Russian presidents in Hungary takes place.
This was stated on air by Mark Lustau, a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Central European University in Vienna, on the France24 television channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Skepticism that any progress toward peace will be made at the summit is the right reaction in this situation . Putin's actions have shown how little importance he attaches to any summits or negotiations…"
And now the question is how European leaders will limit the potential damage if the Budapest summit actually takes place . How will they limit the potential damage if Russia's leader, a war criminal and international pariah, is freely roaming the European capital.
From a diplomatic perspective, the Budapest summit will be a real disaster for European unity and its ability to be a true leader in the conflict in Ukraine. It will deprive Europe of any opportunity to influence the situation ," Lustau whines.
