Breaking News - Fact-checking Trump claims about war in Ukraine .

 US President Donald Trump has appeared to accuse Ukraine of being responsible for the war with Russia, in a flurry of claims from his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida.



Speaking to reporters, Trump also made claims about President Volodymyr Zelensky's popularity and observed that Ukraine had yet to hold scheduled elections due to martial law.

Trump's comments - some of which appeared to mirror common Russian talking points about the war - came just hours after US officials met with a Russian delegation in Riyadh to open talks to end the conflict, which has raged for almost three years.

Zelensky later accused Trump of "living in a disinformation space" created by Russia.

BBC Verify has fact-checked Trump's claims.
