Hungary, Switzerland, Italy and the United Arab Emirates have also been mentioned as potential locations for the Trump-Putin summit next Friday, reports the American Fox News. According to the portal

Putin originally wanted to come to Hungary.

Before Alaska's announcement, HVG contacted the government to ask if it was possible to hold the Trump-Putin meeting in Hungary. We did not receive a response to our question.

According to some reports, Italy was also seriously considered, but in the case of Rome, it was the Kremlin that protested due to the Italian Atlanticist leadership's friendliness towards Ukraine.

As we reported, the two presidents will eventually meet in Alaska. Trump hinted that there could be territorial concessions on the Ukrainian side – to which Volodymyr Zelensky immediately indicated: Ukraine will not go for that.
