Donald Trump spoke for more than an hour with Vladimir Putin yesterday, but conceded the talks would not lead "to immediate peace" in Ukraine, and warned that Russia would respond to Kyiv's successful attacks this week on its airfields.

Russia will retaliate over airfield attacks, Trump says after phone call with Putin

Trump, who repeatedly claimed during his election campaign that he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, did not attempt to discourage the Russian leader from retaliation, according to his description of the discussion on his Truth Social platform. He said instead that Putin had offered to participate in US talks with Iran about its nuclear programme, which the US president said Tehran had been "slow-walking".

In separate remarks yesterday, Putin once again ruled out a comprehensive ceasefire in Ukraine, claiming that it would give Kyiv time to regroup and rearm, while Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy described Moscow's peace proposals presented earlier this week as nothing more than an "ultimatum".
