Ukraine's president, Vladimir Zelensky, says that Russia is doing everything it can to stop a meeting between him and Vladimir Putin from taking place.

Both Kiev and Washington were optimistic that peace talks were within reach following a summit between Putin and Donald Trump. As Dominic Philitis reports, now the U.S. President isn't so sure. Ukraine's president, Volodymy Zelensky, has repeatedly called for Putin to meet him. On Friday, he accused Russia of not only avoiding a meeting, but also actively prolonging the war.

Now, another deadline from U.S. President Donald Trump, who's already begun making arrangements for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, Clearly frustrated at the lack of progress, he once again raised the possibility of punishing Russia.

It's going to be a very important decision. And that's whether or not it's massive sanctions or massive tariffs above, or do we do nothing, and say it's your fight.
