The Russian tyrant and Mr Trump are expected to discuss the future of the Kremlin's brutal invasion of Ukraine at a high-stakes meeting in Alaska on Friday.

Ukraine's wartime leader Volodymyr Zelensky is not expected to be present, raising fears a peace plan could be negotiated without Kyiv’s involvement.

Last night Downing Street confirmed Mr Starmer will take part in a series of virtual calls about Ukraine with the US President and European leaders today.
