Russian President Vladimir Putin praised U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine, more than three years after Moscow launched its invasion, as the two leaders prepared for a pivotal U.

Volodymyr Zelensky said in a new interview that he believes Vladimir Putin will significantly "benefit" from his meeting with Trump.

Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street on Thursday morning, ahead of Donald Trump’s highly-anticipated Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. The Prime Minister’s office said the Ukrainian president was due arrive at 9.30 am.
