A top European diplomat has claimed Vladimir Putin got 'everything he wanted’ as hopes faded last night of a peace deal.

The Russian President appears not to have made any concessions despite talks with President Trump and pressure from the UK and other Western allies.

President Putin has even been seen laughing in recent media appearances and appears determined to continue the three-year occupation of Ukraine.

Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s senior foreign affairs official, was among Western leaders who joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Monday.

The mood was buoyant afterwards following President Trump’s claim President Putin had agreed to the US providing security guarantees for Ukraine.
