US vice president JD Vance accused Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of “needling” Donald Trump and having a “certain sense of entitlement” as the US President paused aid to Ukraine.

The development comes as Mr Trump seeks to pressure Mr Zelenskyy into committing to peace talks with Russia, following their tense confrontation in the Oval Office last week.
