Russians at least have one position and adhere to it.

What cannot be said about Americans

US weapons only if there is no European alternative! We must support our military industry.

Russians like to boast about how they had defeated Hitler and Napoleon.

But this war now is completely different. Nobody is going to conquer Moscow and Hitler & Napoleon did not fire drones and missiles on oil refineries and power installations. Or did they? 😉

"possible concrete steps in the interests of realizing the understandings" - I like the language. Word by word translation from Russian language, I guess

Trump's mind is like a circular buffer, the same ideas and changes of his opinion appears periodically again and again... and all the time he acts as if it was brand new idea ....

"Trump urged Zelensky to accept..." again? This guy has memory as a goldfish. This was discussed and rejected so many times before.

So why is meeting in Budapest taking place at all? If there is no change in the position on any side?

We must distinguish between what he said and what he is willing to do

Trump is one trick pony. All his dealmaking is - negotiate with strong one, push weak one.

Budapest script is the same as in Turkey few months ago.

For everybody who still believes that medieval Rus (AKA Kievan Rus) and current Russia are the one and the same entity

In other words - Europe back to the long-time normal. Russia is a troublemaker and always was.

Nobody except Trump believes in the early end of the war.

Trump and his staff are looking for a shortcut to any kind of peace, no matter what consequences....

Have it done and move on.... Trump is probably not a long-distance runner...
