A senior Ukrainian official criticizes US President Donald Trump for launching talks with Russia without Ukraine after officials from Washington and Moscow held their first meeting since the invasion of Ukraine.

“Both [former US president Barack] Obama before 2014 and [Joe] Biden before this war talked to Putin about everyone without everyone, about Europe without Europe, and someone in Trump’s team led him in the same footsteps. This will only be feeding Putin’s appetite,” the senior official requesting anonymity tells AFP.
