Trump envoy Steve Witkoff meets Putin in St Petersburg with a Ukraine peace plan as Trump tells Kyiv to settle

Steve Witkoff is expected to propose three-way talks between Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky and President Donald Trump. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said he did not know 'if any agreement will be reached today'. Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow expects no 'miracle'. Trump had said on Tuesday that 'Ukraine has to want to settle this war'.

Trump said he has asked Putin to free jailed American Stephen Hubbard, 74.

Six Republican senators joined Democrats urging Trump to reverse his Russian diesel deal.

Zelensky said Ukraine is again receiving early warnings of Russian missile attacks: 'Now it works.'
