Russian media continued its intense focus on the anticipated Putin-Trump summit, with early reports detailing Trump's statements about progress on Ukrainian settlement and hopes for a meeting within weeks. Discussions from their recent phone call reportedly covered Tomahawk missiles and Europe tensions. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, Russian outlets emphasized preparations for the Putin-Trump summit in Budapest, including Putin's discussions with Orban, while highlighting the potential "painful blow for the EU."
