By Ben Aris in Berlin Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy have given up on ceasefire talks, calling them pointless as both sides increase the frequency and ferocity of their mutual missile strikes on each other's territory in recent weeks.

Ukraine reviews Russia's ceasefire terms after failed talks. Zelenskyy emphasizes no rewards for Putin and highlights NATO's importance in curbing Russian aggression.

The meeting, which was the second round of peace talks between the two countries, lasted about an hour. It took place against the backdrop of growing violence in the ongoing war.
