Volodymyr Zelensky has taunted Vladimir Putin, goading the Russian despot that he is 'still alive'.

The Ukrainian leader spoke as the two-day US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi ended without an agreement to end the war.

Mr Zelensky, speaking from Copenhagen, said: 'Nobody stopped Putin. Nobody destroyed him. And he is still alive.

'God bless, he is hearing us, listening to us. Maybe we'll do something. It's really a huge problem.'

Yet there was little sign of Putin seeking an end to a war that has scarred Europe for almost five years.

Moscow's chief negotiator in Abu Dhabi, Vladimir Medinsky, vowed: 'Every inch of our land will be reclaimed by Russia, one way or another.'

Russia and Ukraine agreed a large exchange of prisoners of war, envoys said Wednesday as the talks concluded, but they announced no major breakthrough on ending the conflict.

Hopes had been low for any significant development in the first meeting in nine months between the delegations.
