Donald Trump hopes Russia and Ukraine can secure peace deal
Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of breaking an Easter ceasefire announced by President Vladimir Putin, which has now come to an end.
US President Donald Trump weighed in for the first time since the Easter truce – saying he hopes the two countries will make a deal this week and then start to do “big business” with America.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky claims the Russian army is creating the general impression of a truce but continues its attacks.
Russia’s defence ministry says its units have observed the ceasefire and claims Ukraine fired 48 drones into Russia.
