Germany's defence minister has warned Ukraine not to agree to a deal which involves sweeping territorial concessions in return for a ceasefire with Russia. Boris Pistorius said Ukraine "should not go as far as the latest proposal by the American president", which he said would amount to a "capitulation".

President Donald Trump revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked him for more weapons during their meeting in the Vatican before Pope Francis’s funeral.

Inside the soaring nave of St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, the quiet hush of world leaders paying respects to the late Pope Francis was briefly interrupted by a flurry of activity in a secluded corner near the entrance doors.
