Budapest Summit Brings Ceasefire, Yet the War Continues

The Budapest summit ended without major announcements but was seen as a success due to the attendance of many leaders, despite some absences. The European Political Community aims to facilitate discussions on security challenges, with migration and economic policy as key topics. While the summit allowed for open discussions, it is unlikely to significantly improve relations between leaders, particularly between Hungary and Ukraine. Gestures of friendliness among leaders were noted, but the political climate remains tense, and opposition attacks on Hungary are expected to continue.
