How world leaders are responding to the US-Russia summit
We've been bringing you reactions throughout the day from different leaders about the coming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
Here's a summary of who said what:
Speaking about the issue of territory during peace talks, Trump said: "We are looking to actually get some back and some swapping. It is complicated, actually nothing easy. We are going to get some back, some switched."
Russia's presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said: "We expect this process will not be simple, but we will be engaged in it actively and consistently."
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said: "The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the Constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this - and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier."
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has yet to directly respond, but a Downing Street spokesperson said: "[Starmer and Zelensky] welcomed President Trump's desire to bring this barbaric war to an end and agreed that we must keep up the pressure on Putin to end his illegal war."
France's President Emmanuel Macron said: "Ukraine's future cannot be decided without the Ukrainians who have been fighting for their freedom and security for more than three years now. Europeans will also necessarily be part of the solution because their security depends on it."
We're pausing our live coverage for now - but we're watching for any developments and will bring you news of the outcome of today's talks right here if details emerge. Thanks for joining us.
