BREAKING: Shocking Reasons Why Budapest Summit WILL NOT Happen

<p>Silicon Bites Ep259 - Day 1,336 - 2025-10-21 | Why the Budapest summit won’t happen and why “peace” is still the last thing that Vladimir Putin has on his mind. It’s Day 1,336 of Russia’s criminal war against Ukraine.Why the Budapest summit won’t happen (and what that really tells us). After last week’s Trump–Putin call, the White House floated a rapid “peace” summit in Budapest. Since then: no date, no itinerary, no pre-meet. Russia’s line hasn’t budged; Europe is hardening around a different baseline; and the logistics around Putin entering European airspace are politically toxic. News just in, Poland warns that Putin risks being diverted to The Hague if he attempts to overfly European countries that are prepared to enforce the ICC warrants against Putin. What changed in 72 hours? The Kremlin says the “timing is unclear,” and Dmitry Peskov stressed you can’t “postpone something that hasn’t been set in stone,” adding the whole thing would need “serious preparation.” (That’s Kremlin-speak for: we’re not committing – in fact we’re chickening out. This thing isn’t going to happen.)

There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.
