Europe live: EU says Ukraine should be able to ‘choose its own destiny’ ahead of Trump-Putin meeting

Ukrainian president thanks EU leaders for their support and calls for further pressure on Russia

Just days before the Trump-Putin summit, Ukraine's authoritative DeepState war map showed that Russian forces had advanced by at least 10 km (six miles) north in two prongs in recent days, part of their drive to take full control of Ukraine's Donetsk region, Reuters reported.

The advance is one of the most dramatic in the last year, it stated.

We're waiting for the US to follow through on the on the commitments they've made, the clear political commitments they've made, and, and that's where we are right now as soon as we have any updates, we'd be happy to provide them."
