Lammy and Vance host national security advisers ahead of Trump-Putin summit
It is understood the meeting was arranged at the request of the US and will be co-hosted by American vice-president JD Vance, who is staying in Kent at Chevening at the start of his UK holiday.
It comes after Mr Trump announced that he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15 to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
The US president had earlier suggested that any peace deal was likely to involve 'some swapping of territories', with reports suggesting this could involve Ukraine giving up its Donetsk region.
He had previously threatened to impose more stringent tariffs on Russia if Mr Putin did not agree to a ceasefire by Friday.
But Mr Zelensky has already rejected any proposal that would compromise Ukraine's territorial integrity, saying Kyiv 'will not give Russia any awards for what it has done' and that 'Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier'.
Ukraine's constitution forbids giving away territory.
Mr Zelensky also warned that any peace agreement that excluded Ukraine would lead to 'dead solutions'.
Ahead of the meeting at Chevening, Sir Keir Starmer discussed the talks in a call with Mr Zelensky on Saturday morning.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: 'Both leaders 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.
'The Prime Minister ended the call by reiterating his unwavering support for Ukraine and its people.'
Mr Lammy held formal talks with Mr Vance at Chevening on Friday, during which they were expected to discuss the war in Ukraine.

Anti-Trump internet star's attempt to debunk DC crime spiral ends in disaster
A viral internet account known for posting about Washington DC was ridiculed online after its attempt to prove ' crime isn't that bad' backfired massively. Washingtonian Problems, an anti-MAGA account that focuses on DC's issues, asked its followers to post positive traits about the ailing city to 'push back' against Trump. However, the account was quickly inundated with comments from locals that only served to prove that Trump 's law enforcement takeover is warranted. The X account wrote: 'Hey DC, let's push back against the negative narrative about our city. Share why you love our beautiful home and help show the world the real DC.' Testimonials came in thick and fast from people who had been the victims of serious crimes - who were happy that the National Guard are being deployed. 'I've been held up at gunpoint, had my car broken into 3 times, and had my bike stolen. My credit card has been skimmed too many times to count and I can't send my kids to public school here because they're a joke,' wrote Bret Manley, a children's book author based in the D.C. area. Multiple people wrote that they or people they knew have been robbed or mugged in front of police officers who declined to intervene. 'My car was broken into. One friend had a car stolen from in front of his place, another was carjacked at gun point. I've had to assist someone who was shot while I was just trying to drunkenly make my way home from a bar,' another person wrote. 'F*** you. Thank god for the new enforcement.' Pictured: The account, Washingtonian Problems, wrote this on Monday hoping to spread positivity about the nation's capital Grayson Quay, a conservative writer and former editor at The Daily Caller, wrote about a time he was assaulted on the Metro. 'It was really cool when a guy headbutted me on the metro after I asked him to stop blasting music through his phone speakers,' he wrote. 'And then there was the time a bum spat on me for no reason.' Tim Kennedy, a producer for outlet The Daily Signal, recalled a quadruple shooting at King Street Oyster Bar in August 2024 that killed two people. 'The D.C. chief of police blamed the restaurant for not properly locking up their patio at night,' Kennedy wrote. 'No, this actually happened.' The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) released a statement at the time saying that the restaurant, which was closed at the time of the shooting, failed to secure its patio and allowed people to gather. 'Without preventative measures, the open patio contributed to the group establishing themselves and continue to grow, leading to the gun violence that resulted in four people being shot, two of which are deceased, and significant property damage,' the department said in a statement. Other commenters talked about the mental toll of living in a city with high crime, including conservative political strategist Sarah Selip. 'As a woman #TheRealDC means carrying pepper spray day and night. Not wearing headphones after dark. Taking off your engagement ring when walking the dogs,' she wrote. The more constructive replies to Washingtonian Problems accused the account of being tone deaf and unwilling to acknowledge reality. 'It's a beautiful city but it's not negativity to admit that the crime is out of control,' one person wrote. The same day Washingtonian Problems made this post attempting to 'push back against the negative narrative about our city,' a man was shot to death in D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood. As of August 2025, violent crime has plummeted by 26 percent since last year, according to the MPD. Homicide is down 11 percent, while sex abuse offenses have been cut in half. However, there is potentially reason to doubt these statistics, since MPD placed 3rd District Commander Michael Pulliam on leave last month over accusations of manipulating crime data. D.C. Police Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton told NBC 4 he doesn't believe there has been as large of a crime drop as local officials have claimed. 'There's potentially a drop from where we were in 2023. I think that there's a possibility that crime has come down. But the department is reporting that in 2024, crime went down 35 percent -- violent crime – and another 25 percent through August of this year,' Pemberton said. 'That is preposterous to suggest that cumulatively we've seen 60-plus percent drops in violent crime from where we were in '23, because we're out on the street. We know the calls we're responding to,' he added. Since Trump took over the MPD and mobilized the National Guard, the White House claimed that more than 100 people have been arrested.

Viable chance of Russia-Ukraine ceasefire, says Keir Starmer
There is a "viable chance" of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said, ahead of Friday's summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir two leaders are meeting in Alaska to discuss how to end the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders, who are not attending the meeting, held a joint call with Trump on Wednesday to reiterate their the call, Sir Keir said Ukraine's "territorial integrity" had to be protected and that "international borders cannot and must not be changed by force". Zelensky Last week Trump warned there could be "some swapping of territories, to the betterment of both", leading to fears Ukraine may have to give up some areas in order to end the bloody conflictUkraine has insisted it will not accept Russian control of land it has seized, including Crimea, while Moscow wants to maintain also wants assurances that Ukraine will not join the Nato military alliance and a limit on the size of its army. Addressing a virtual meeting of the European leaders following the call with Trump, Sir Keir said "any ceasefire would have to be lasting and to be lasting it would need security guarantees"."That is why we set up this coalition of the willing," he added. The coalition is a group of mainly European countries who have pledged to provide military support to Ukraine - including potentially boots on the ground - in order to deter Russia from breaching any agreed peace deal. Sir Keir said the coalition had "credible" military plans ready that could be used in the event of a ceasefire. He said the leaders of the group were also ready to increase economic pressure on Russia if necessary, for example through increasing sanctions. He also praised Trump's efforts to reach an agreement, saying: "For three-and-a-bit years this conflict has been going on and we haven't got anywhere near the prospect of an actually a viable solution, a viable way of bringing it to a ceasefire."Now we do have that chance, because of the work the president has put in."Following his call with European leaders, Trump told a press conference there was a chance of a meeting between Putin and said he would use his initial meeting with Putin to "find out where we are and what we're doing", adding: "We'll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they'd like to have me there."He also warned Putin that he would face "very severe consequences" if he did not agree to end the war after Friday's summit.

Trump: I'll invite Zelensky to my next Putin meeting
President Trump has suggested he will hold a meeting with President Putin and President Zelensky 'almost immediately' after his summit with the Russian leader in Alaska on Friday. Trump floated the possibility of the three-way meeting during an event at the Kennedy Center in Washington on Wednesday. 'There's a very good chance we will have a second meeting that will be more productive than the first,' Trump said after he had held a call with Zelensky and European leaders. 'If the first one goes OK, we will have a quick second one. I would like to do it almost immediately, and we'll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself if they'd like to have me there.' Trump said the meeting with Putin on Friday was just 'setting the table' for the second meeting. However, he added: 'There may be no second meeting because if I feel that it's not appropriate to have it, because I didn't get the answers that we have to have, then we're not going to have a second meeting.'
