The State Duma spoke about the possibility of a summit between the Russian Federation and the European Union

A summit between the representative offices of Russia and the European Union is possible in the current circumstances, but it depends on whether European countries continue to pursue their intentions to continue the Ukrainian conflict. This opinion was shared by State Duma deputy Alexei Chepa on Friday, August 8.

According to him, if it has a positive meaning, then there is a need to meet and discuss further steps. One of the key points is the topic of Ukraine's accession to NATO, and here the position of the United States and European countries is very important. Lenta.ru .

The MP also believes that such meetings will definitely be organized. Chepa added that the participation of European countries in the negotiations is necessary to exclude claims about the agreements reached without Europe and to prevent the use of this situation.

At the same time, today the MP does not see the expediency in negotiations, as Britain, France and Germany are trying to do everything to prolong the conflict.

Two-way traffic: what does the future meeting between Putin and Trump change?

Where will the leaders of the two powers meet and what can they agree on?

Earlier on August 8, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that European leaders need to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, otherwise they will be excluded from making decisions on the continent's security, writes RT.

He called on the German Chancellor and the French president to travel to Moscow together for talks on behalf of Europe. Or, if necessary, to hold such negotiations on neutral territory, notes kp.ru .

According to Orban, if European countries want to decide their own future on their own, they should not "sit at home like an offended child and sulk" at Putin. They need to behave in accordance with the rules of diplomacy, that is, to solve problems through negotiations, writes IA Regnum.

On the same day, Bloomberg reported that the United States was working on an agreement with Russia to end the conflict in Ukraine. It is noted that the United States is seeking to enlist the support of Ukraine and its European allies in this agreement, but, according to sources, this is far from guaranteed.
