Vladimir Putin was left humiliated following an attack on Saturday which saw a £74million fighter jet shot down by Ukraine. Footage shared by the Ukrainian military showed the burning wreckage in a field in Russia ’s Kursk Oblast, the same region that underwent the daring assault by Kyiv's troops in August last year.

Trump said his latest call with Putin wouldn't lead to "immediate peace" as he relayed the Russian leader's plans to retaliate against Ukraine.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Vladimir Putin intends to retaliate “very strongly” against Ukraine for a surprise drone strike on Russian airfields over the weekend, a declaration that provoked alarm in Washington and abroad even as Trump touted his efforts to bring peace to the region.
