Trump brokers Putin and Zelenskyy meeting

Trump sets up a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

How is that going to work? And will this accelerate peace in Ukraine?

This - as Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders made their way to Washington DC. Their goal? To make sure Donald Trump is still on their side. To make sure he's not got too close to Vladimir Putin and his plans to annex parts of Ukraine after the pair met in Alaska. 

How much of a turning point is today in Russia's invasion of Ukraine? 

Mark Stone's joined by Sky News' Deputy Political Editor Sam Coates for this one.
