Crisis talks at No 10 over Ukraine's future

CRISIS talks over the future of Ukraine took place at No 10 Downing Street after the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in London to meet European allies.

- 

Mr Zelensky said ahead of the meeting that his country "can't manage" without European and American support.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hosted Mr Zelensky along with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for private talks that lasted for around an hour as efforts continue to find a way to end the war with Russia.

The discussions come as US President Donald Trump accused Mr Zelensky of having failed to read the latest peace plan, saying he was "a little disappointed" in the Ukrainian leader, while insisting Russia's Vladimir Putin was "fine with it".
