Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of 'complicating' efforts to end the war by refusing a ceasefire as he prepares to meet Donald Trump.
Mr Zelensky will visit the White House tomorrow for a one-on-one which the US President believes could pave the way for a three-way meeting with Vladimir Putin.
The Russian and American leaders shook hands on Friday at a military base at Anchorage in Alaska for a superpower summit to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.
But Ukraine's future as a sovereign nation is now hanging in the balance following the crunch talks, with critics warning other world leaders were powerless to prevent Mr Zelensky from being caught 'with his head in a vice' by Mr Trump and Mr Putin.
It comes as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will hold a ‘coalition of the willing’ meeting today.
