KEIR Starmer hugged Volodymyr Zelensky in a show of support at No10, as the world braced for Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's crunch talks today over the Ukraine war.

The US President and Russian despot are set to meet at a remote military US base in Alaska, with the White House calling for a "peaceful resolution" to the three-year conflict.

But with Ukraine excluded from the high stakes talks, there are concerns among European leaders that Kyiv could be sidelined in negotiations over a ceasefire.

Yesterday, PM Keir Starmer rolled out the red carpet for Ukrainian President Zelensky.

The pair, also seen in No10's garden, smiled before a private breakfast to discuss Wednesday's call with EU leaders and Trump. A Downing Street spokesman said: "They agreed there had been a powerful sense of unity and a strong resolve to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
