Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a three-way summit with US President Donald Trump and Russia Vladimir Putin as he seeks to force Moscow to halt its three-year invasion.
Recall that Russian President Putin has rejected calls to meet Zelensky in Turkey earlier this month and the Kremlin has said a meeting between the two leaders would only happen after some kind of agreement is reached.
The US president, meanwhile, has expressed frustration at both Putin and Zelensky for not yet striking a deal to end the war. Trump confirmed that if Russia does not stop, sanctions will be imposed. Zelensky also said that Ukraine is yet to receive a promised memorandum from Russia on its demands for a peace deal.
