Budapest talks are a renewed effort by Trump and Putin to engage in serious negotiations on Ukraine, with Germany supporting Ukraine's stance.
ANKARA (Reuters) -German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the planned Budapest talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were a second attempt to make the Russian President to recognise the need to negotiate seriously with Ukraine.
"I see the talks in Budapest as a second attempt, after the talks in Alaska, to convince Putin at last to negotiate seriously with Ukraine," he told reporters during a trip to Turkey.
"Ukraine will insist on this, and it will have the full support of Germany in doing so," he added.
