British officials worked throughout Tuesday to renew contacts between Kyiv and Washington - The Telegraph

According to the publication's sources, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's team has been "all day at various levels" trying to pave the way for a resumption of talks following a spat during a meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

 "It's not just about calls. It's more than one continuous conversation," a source told The Telegraph.

The White House is divided on how to interact with Volodymyr Zelensky. In particular, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz insisted on resuming contacts.
