Russian state TV aired a video of Vladimir Putin warning Donald Trump to stop trying to dictate the terms of a ceasefire with Ukraine.

Putin stressed that he plans to finish what he started three years ago and warned that Trump should not push him into a US blueprint for stopping the war.

The Russian ruler told Kremlin-controlled state TV: 'You know, the Americans — the American people and the American leadership, including the president — have their own national interests.

'We respect that.

'We proceed from the assumption that we will be treated the same way.'
