Latvia does not see any possibility of granting permission for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plane to fly through its airspace, the Latvian Foreign Ministry told the LETA news agency, commenting on the planned but unconfirmed meeting between the U.S. and Russian presidents in Budapest, European Pravda reported, citing the Delfi portal.

The Foreign Ministry stated that Latvia supports U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, but there is still no indication that Putin is ready to engage in a constructive peace process. Russia continues to intensify its airstrikes against Ukraine, killing civilians and destroying critical infrastructure.

“Latvia sees no possibility of granting overflight permission through its airspace to a person responsible for launching the war against Ukraine and for serious violations of international law by Russia, including war crimes in Ukraine,” the ministry said.

Earlier reports indicated that a meeting between Trump and Putin was planned in Budapest to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. No date has been announced, nor has it been clarified how Putin would travel to the Hungarian capital, as restrictions remain in place on Russian aircraft within EU airspace.

Previously, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski did not rule out the possibility that if the Kremlin leader were to use Polish airspace on his way to Budapest, his plane could be forced to land.
