Some mixed messages from America with very little detail tonight - Donald Trump promised "big progress" on Russia, while his envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Moscow had agreed to "make concessions". Ukraine's president Zelenskyy and European allies said Putin must first "stop the killing" - and then we'll talk.

Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine to withdraw from the whole of Luhansk and Donetsk regions - known as the Donbas.
Russia would then reportedly agree to freeze the front line in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Russian sources have not commented on Kharkiv and Sumy regions - where Russian forces are actively trying to seize more territory.
And the Kremlin also wants Russia's annexation of Crimea to be officially recognised.
All this, in return for some unspecified "security guarantees".
