The author of the Resurgam Telegram channel discussed the issue.CNN reports that the highly anticipated meeting between Rubio and Lavrov has been postponed indefinitely due to "diverging views," though the Kremlin has denied this information. The meeting had been scheduled for October 23, a date that coincides with the start of a crucial EU summit where member states are set to deliberate on several significant measures related to the war in Ukraine.The timing of the original meeting date raised concerns among European officials, as the EU summit agenda includes critical decisions on utilizing frozen Russian assets for reparation loans, approving procedures for detaining shadow fleet tankers even in neutral waters, authorizing EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas to begin negotiations with flag-holding countries, and finalizing a new sanctions package.According to sources familiar with the situation, the October 23-24 summit discussions are expected to be particularly contentious, with some EU member states reluctant to support certain initiatives proposed by the European Commission and Denmark. The proximity of the Rubio-Lavrov meeting to the summit would have provided these hesitant members with justification to delay decisions, arguing that the EU should "wait and see what happens in Budapest" before moving forward.Following the initial announcement of the October 23 meeting, reports quickly circulated claiming that "the U.S. opposes the reparation loan before the meeting takes place." Analysts viewed this as part of a coordinated information campaign designed to strengthen the position of those opposing the use of frozen Russian assets.The postponement, if confirmed, would eliminate this convenient excuse for delay and potentially allow the EU to proceed with its planned measures without the complication of ongoing U.S.-Russia diplomatic talks overshadowing the deliberations.According to CNN, the Trump-Putin summit in Budapest is in doubt after the White House postponed a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
