Russia-Ukraine War | Explained In 60 seconds: Why Putin Is Refusing A Ukraine Peace Deal
Tense negotiations over a Ukraine peace deal remain unresolved as five hours of talks between Vladimir Putin and senior envoys of Donald Trump fail to deliver a breakthrough.

The White House says the plan is being refined, but a final agreement remains out of reach.
