A lot has changed since Trump became president - let's take stock

15:03 GMT

After more than three years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the White House says today that "we've never been closer to peace".

Late 2024: Trump campaigns on a promise to end the war. He repeatedly says he could settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day.

Early February: Trump calls Putin, and says they both agreed to start negotiations for an end to the war. Days later, Zelensky said Ukraine would "never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement".

Late February: Trump calls Zelensky a "dictator". Zelensky retaliates and says Trump is "living in a disinformation space" governed by Moscow. Zelensky goes to Washington to sign a US minerals deal. Instead, he is told to leave after an angry spat with Trump and Vice-President Vance.

3 March: US suspends all military aid to Ukraine. Two days later, US confirms it has also paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

11 March: After US-Ukraine talks in Jeddah, Ukraine agrees to a US proposal for a temporary 30-day ceasefire, and the US agrees to resume intelligence sharing and military aid.

Today: Russia says there is "cautious optimism" over a ceasefire deal after what Trump calls "productive discussions" between Russia and US. While Putin says there is "a lot ahead to be done," the White House says "we've never been closer to peace".
