Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Poland of being prepared to carry out terrorist acts: "I have recently heard that Mr. [Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw] Sikorski threatened that the security of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s plane would not be guaranteed in Polish airspace if he flew to Budapest for the proposed summit with [US President Donald] Trump, that Putin’s security in Poland’s airspace will not be guaranteed."
Reports in the US media that the Russia-US summit could be postponed are surprising" "Today, I read with surprise that according to [US] CNN reports, the meeting between [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and [his US counterpart Donald] Trump could be postponed, as after my yesterday’s conversation with [US State Secretary] Marco Rubio, ‘officials felt that the Russian position has not evolved enough beyond its maximalist stance."
