Trump and Putin holding Ukraine talks after warm greeting in Alaska

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are holding high-stakes talks on the Ukraine war in Alaska – watch the latest at the top of the page.

The US and Russian presidents exchanged a warm greeting, including two handshakes, before travelling together in Trump’s limo to the summit

The leaders, originally expected to meet one-on-one, are joined by senior US and Russian officials

Trump says he “won’t be happy” if a ceasefire isn’t agreed today – our chief international correspondent says there’s no sign Putin has shifted from his goal of “dominating Ukraine”

Volodymyr Zelensky, who is not invited to the summit, says “on the day of negotiations, the Russians are killing as well”, adding a meeting of Ukrainian, US and Russian leaders is needed

Away from Alaska, Kyiv residents are “sceptical” of the talks, while Russian soldiers tell the BBC they “just want it all to end”
