Ukrainian and European officials meet Vance ahead of Trump-Putin summit

Ukrainian and European officials have met US Vice President JD Vance in Britain, apparently to convey their position on a ceasefire in Ukraine.

This comes ahead of a planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said on Saturday that he had a series of phone calls with leaders of Britain, France and other countries. Zelenskyy said Europe's voice must be taken into account in negotiations to reach a ceasefire.
