Washington: Plans for a face-to-face meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest (Hungary) over the next two weeks have collapsed. The US president proposed a ceasefire freezing the war along current front lines. The proposal aimed to halt bloodshed and give space for future negotiations.

Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, “I don’t want to have a wasted meeting. I don’t want to have a waste of time, so I will see what happens.”

The collapse comes two months after Trump and Putin’s hastily arranged summit in Alaska in August. That meeting also ended with no results. Europe’s deadliest since World War II, the Russia-Ukraine war has killed tens of thousands.
