Leaders from Europe and Canada have held talks on US-led peace efforts to end the nearly four-year war between Russia and Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv sparred over Russian claims, denied by Ukraine, of a mass drone attack on a residence used by President Vladimir Putin.

The virtual meeting included European leaders as well as Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, heads of European institutions and Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte, according to Polish prime minister Donald Tusk.
