Ukraine-Russia war live: Zelensky invites Trump for visit as Kyiv developing ‘unstoppable’ AI-powered drone

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited Donald Trump to visit Ukraine amid concerns about the former US president’s ideas about the war.

Speaking to Politico, Zelensky rejected proposals, backed by the likes of Trump, that Ukraine could end the war with Russia by making territorial concessions.

“If the deal is that we just give up our territories, and that’s the idea behind it, then it’s a very primitive idea,” he said.

He added: “We said that we would like Donald Trump to come to Ukraine, see everything with his own eyes and draw his own conclusions. In any case, I am ready to meet him and discuss the issue.”

Trump has reportedly expressed interest in the offer. David Cameron appeared to have failed in his own attempts to persuade Trump to help bring $60bn in military aid to Ukraine when he visited him at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday.

It comes as Ukraine revealed they were developing “unstoppable” AI-powered drones in a push to create an image recognition targeting system to hunt targets.

The Telegraph reported that the development is being backed by more than £200 million in Western finance.
