Zelensky plans to meet Trump on Sunday for talks on ending Russian war
Ukraine's president last met President Donald Trump at the White House in OctoberBy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he will meet his US counterpart Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday, as talks continue on ending Russia's full-scale war.
Zelensky said he wanted to focus on a US-brokered peace plan, and separate proposals for US security guarantees. But a senior Russian official said the plan was "radically different" to the one Russia was negotiating with the US.
The Kremlin has not commented on Zelensky's offer to withdraw troops from Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, if Russia pulls back too.
Overnight, at least five people were injured in the capital, Kyiv, in a fresh wave of Russian air strikes, the mayor said. Another person was wounded in the Kyiv region.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said Ukraine's air defence forces were repelling the attack, with eyewitnesses reporting blasts in the city.
The Russian attack continued on Saturday morning, with Ukraine's air force warning that a drone and missile threat is in force for the entire country.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Moscow currently controls about 75% of the Donetsk region, and some 99% of the neighbouring Luhansk. The regions are collectively known as Donbas.
