"Trump-Putin summit" in jeopardy? Slovak Prime Minister: The EU is sabotaging it.

``` Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has accused some EU member states of attempting to undermine the originally planned "Trump-Putin summit" in Budapest. In a statement released by the Slovak government office, Fico said that the foreign minister of an EU member state claimed that Putin could be arrested if he flew over that country, and that the EU Commission’s media environment warned that Hungary should enforce the international arrest warrant. He criticized these moves as undermining peace negotiations. According to a previous article by WallstreetCN, the US has already canceled the upcoming "Trump-Putin summit," but Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán said on Wednesday that preparations for a peace summit with Russian President Putin in Budapest are still underway, though the date has not been set. Poland Threatens to Intercept Putin's Plane The foreign minister Fico referred to is Poland's Radoslaw Sikorski. Sikorski warned in an interview that the Polish government cannot guarantee Putin’s safe passage through Polish airspace, as the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for the Russian leader on war crimes charges. Sikorski stated that Poland, as a member of the International Criminal Court, is obliged to take action if Putin enters its jurisdiction. He said: "I cannot guarantee that an independent Polish court would not order the government to escort such a plane to land and hand the suspect over to the Hague." Sikorski added: "I think the Russian side is aware of this. Therefore, if this summit is to take place and the victims of aggression are to participate, the plane will take a different route." Widening Divisions Within the EU Slovak Prime Minister Fico called the actions undermining peace talks "a regrettable sight." In his statement, he said: "I have always believed that the EU has become a war cabinet, with a considerable number of EU member states supporting the war in Ukraine, naively thinking that this could weaken or even defeat Russia." The Slovak Prime Minister has previously urged the EU to do everything possible to ensure that the peace summit between Trump and Putin in Hungary "takes place as soon as possible and without obstacles." He said: "Holding a Trump-Putin summit in Budapest as soon as possible, with no obstacles and full support from the EU—this is my official position." Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán previously stated that Budapest is the only suitable location in Europe for a US-Russia peace summit, and that Hungary possesses a longstanding peaceful position and trustworthy partnerships, capable of providing a reliable, safe, and politically stable environment.
