Leaders from France, Germany and Italy are reportedly on a train to visit war-torn Ukraine

Kyiv has criticised these countries for allegedly dragging their feet when it comes to support.

They’ve been accused of being slow to deliver weapons and of putting their own prosperity ahead of Ukraine’s freedom and security.

It comes as the Kremlin says the U.S. must discuss the extension of the “START Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty”.

Officials say the matter is important for global security and Russia’s military operation in Ukraine is no reason to avoid talks.

It comes as the U.S. urges Americans not to travel to Ukraine after reports that two people had been captured by Russian forces.
