Ukrainian president said that despite tricky relationship with Donald Trump, the White House is more irritated by Vladimir Putin.

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, completed his visit to Germany ahead of schedule and returned to Ukraine because of the Russian threat in Sumy region. This is reported by the German magazine Spiegel.

Russia has not agreed to a ceasefire in its war against Ukraine, and President Donald Trump has opened the door to putting additional sanctions on Russia.

"The complications in Ukraine and Russia are very difficult, and I believe only God can solve this," Franklin Graham said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov has said that a meeting between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is possible, but it "should be the result of specific agreements." Russian propaganda agency TASS reported.

Explosions in Moscow were heard overnight as air defences targeted Ukrainian drones. As a result of the air attack, a fire broke out in the Elma technopark in Zelenograd, 37 miles from Moscow, with one of its buildings damaged. According to Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, 33 drones were reportedly shot down.

In the latest sign of their warming relationship, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine will talk with Chancellor Friedrich Merz in their third meeting since the German leader took office this month.
