US official also confirms Donald Trump will no longer attend
Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine remain up in the air as president Vladimir Putin is notably absent from Russia’s inperson delegation list and US leader Donald Trump has announced he will no longer go to the Turkey summit either.
A US official said that Mr Trump would no longer join the talks in Istanbul, having previously toyed with the idea of going if Putin was attending.
Russia announced their delegation list last night and the list did not include Putin’s name. Instead, the delegation included his adviser Vladimir Medinsky, deputy defence minister Alexander Fomin, and Igor Kostyukov, director of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the GRU (Russia’s military intelligence agency). Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov is also notably absent from the list.

City's unpredictability tilts Champions League hopes
It is the sort of result that can mark a team out as potential champions of Europe. Beating Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, at the least, could offer an indication a team is equipped to defeat them in a final, semifinal or quarterfinal. Though, more than most, Pep Guardiola can testify to Real’s winning habit when the stakes are highest.
