The planned summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest has been put on hold due to concerns it could be a "waste of time," according to Trump. This decision came after a call between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the meeting needed serious preparation but emphasized there had been no formal postponement as no specific date was set. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is seeking long-range Tomahawk missiles from the US to strengthen Ukraine's position against ongoing Russian strikes on its energy grid, which have left thousands without power and water.
