Ukrain President Zelensky insists on face-to-face talks with Putin.
President Volodymyr Zelensky will only attend talks on Ukraine if Russia's Vladimir Putin is also there, the Ukrainian leader's top aide said on Tuesday, challenging the Kremlin to show it is genuine about seeking peace.

Both Russia and Ukraine have sought to show they are working towards peace after Trump prioritised ending the war, but they have yet to agree on any clear path. 

Putin on Sunday proposed direct talks with Ukraine after ignoring a Ukrainian proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Trump then publicly told Zelensky to accept.
