After talks between the US and Russian presidents failed to reach a deal on ending the Ukraine war, Volodymyr Zelensky said Vladimir Putin is "complicating the situation" by refusing to a ceasefire.

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed hope that Monday's summit could eventually lead to a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that he believes Putin wants the war to end.

“There’s going to be a lot of help,” Mr Trump said. “They are first line of defence because they’re there. They’re Europe. But we’re going to help them out also. We’ll be involved.”
