Volodymyr Zelensky

The Russian president had been challenged by Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky to meet in person at the talks on Thursday.

"I will be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday. Personally," the Ukrainian leader writes after Trump urged him to "have the meeting, now!"

Neither Putin nor Zelensky want to be seen by Trump as the obstacle to peace, writes Frank Gardner.

Putin used his speech to tie Russia's three-year war in Ukraine to the war against Nazi Germany 80 years ago.

A three-day truce was called by Vladimir Putin ahead of Russia's World War Two Victory Day celebrations.

Some 350 flights are affected in Moscow and other cities, as Russia claims shooting down 524 Ukrainian drones.

In his first interview since leaving office, the 82-year-old criticises his successor's handling of the war and is challenged on his own record.
