Donald Trump offered Vladimir Putin “large-scale trade” with the US after the war in Ukraine is over, following a two-hour phone call between the two men. Mr Trump said ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will start immediately after his “excellent” phone call with the Russian president.

Trump's statement came a day after the first Moscow-Kyiv negotiations in three years failed to produce a ceasefire agreement. Putin rejected Zelensky's invitation to attend the discussion on Friday and sent a low-level delegation instead. Zelensky said that Putin was not serious about making peace with Ukraine.
