Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to deal with Davos shortly.

We’ll deliver you all the important thing strains right here.

Zelensky’s workplace has simply stated that the assembly with Trump in Davos has ended.

The United States stays dedicated to Ukraine, Nato secretary common Mark Rutte stated on the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

On being requested if US president Donald Trump confirmed dedication to Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty, Rutte stated: “Yes! And I have never doubted this.”

“What we need is to keep our eyes on the ball of Ukraine. Let’s not drop that ball,” he said.

Poland’s military said it has been monitoring increased small drone activity near the border with Belarus on Thursday, amid heightened concern over hybrid attacks from the east in Europe.

The military’s operational command said on social media that yesterday evening there was a spike in UAVs sighted over the border.

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky are currently meeting in Davos, Zelensky’s office says.

Trump said going into the meeting that he thought peace efforts were getting close.

His special envoys are separately due to meet with Vladimir Putin in Moscow today.

An apartment block has been hit in a Russian strike on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, mayor Borys Filatov has said.

They have hit a residential building. All the details will come later,” Mr Filatov said.

A fire broke out in the multi-storey building and is currently being put out by firefighters, he added.

Ukraine’s military said it struck Russia’s Tamanneftegaz oil terminal in the southern Krasnodar region on Thursday.

The general staff did not provide further details but said the facility supplied fuel to the Russian army.

We’ll bring you more as it comes in.

Donald Trump has just spoken with the press following the ‘Board of Peace’ signing ceremony.

He confirms again that he will Volodymyr Zelensky and that his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are meeting with Vladimir Putin.

“I think we’re getting close,” he reiterates. “A lot of people are being killed, we’ve got to get it done.”

“If we don’t get done it will be a disgrace,” he added.
