NATO Chief Sees Ukrainian Land on the Table as Trump Meets Putin
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said this week's US-Russian summit may open the door to negotiations about Ukrainian territory, even as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has continued to reject ceding land occupied by Russia. Bridging the gap between Zelenskiy's stance and Russian President Vladimir Putin's demands on locking in gains in eastern Ukraine is among the most sensitive points as President Donald Trump prepares to meet Putin in Alaska on Friday in search of a deal to end the war.

Putin sends Salisbury poisoning spy chief to negotiations while tyrant avoids Zelensky as ceasefire talks begin TODAY
VLADIMIR Putin has sent his Salisbury poisoning spy chief to Ukraine peace negotiations in Turkey which are due to kick off later today. The Russian despot has refused to come to the negotiating table in person as he continues to avoid Volodymyr Zelensky in order to keep up his brutal conflict. 2 2 Putin's latest stunt saw him ignore calls from Zelensky and Donald Trump to personally attend this weeks round of negotiations in Turkey. Zelensky is said to be in Istanbul for the negotiations but Trump will not attend despite him suggesting he could come. The list of the Russian delegation taking part was released by the Kremlin last night - with Putin's name a glaring omission. Instead, GRU military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov is set to help with the talks for the Kremlin. Kostyukov has a twisted past after he was sanctioned by Britain and the EU over his team's bid to kill former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Wiltshire as part of the infamous Salisbury attack. The nerve agent strike was carried out when Kostyukov was deputy head of the GRU. He was promoted by Putin to a top spy chief shortly afterwards. Putin's negotiators will also see Vladimir Medinsky, a West-hating aide who denies Ukraine even exists, take part.
