Russia and Ukraine have scheduled no further direct talks on ending their more than three-year war, a Kremlin spokesman has said.

The comment comes almost a week after the first face-to-face engagement between the countries’ delegations since 2022 and days after US President Donald Trump announced they would start ceasefire negotiations “immediately”.
