'Not very pleasant' for Trump to speak to Putin first says Zelensky
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says it is "not very pleasant" that US President Donald Trump spoke to Russia's Vladimir Putin "first".
Speaking the day after Trump spoke to both the Russian and Ukrainian leaders, Zelensky says Moscow should only be invited to talks "after a plan to stop Putin has been worked out".
Trump's conversation with Putin has shocked many European leaders who are now fearful that they and Kyiv could be cut out of any eventual negotiations.
