Ukraine has retaken two villages in its eastern region of Sumy, Kyiv’s military said, adding to recent small territorial gains along the border with Russia ahead of peace talks at a summit of the US and Russian leaders set for Friday. US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Kyiv and Moscow will both have to cede land to end the war in Ukraine and this week’s talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin will show whether the Kremlin leader is willing to make a deal.

Zelensky also said Ukraine will not give up land to Russia, as European security advisors meet in the UK.

Leaders present counterproposal and urge more pressure on Russia ahead of summit; Zelenskyy rejects idea of giving up land to end the war. What we know on day 1
