By Thomas Escritt, Olena Harmash and Tom Balmforth BERLIN/KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine and its European allies on Wednesday signalled hope that U.S. President Donald Trump would push for a ceasefire at talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin without selling out Ukraine's interests or proposing to carve up its territory.

Trump wants Russia and Ukraine to "land swap" and plans on talking to Putin about ending the war without Zelenskyy present.

"It is the saddest thing, I have to say, but I do not see the end to this war in sight," Kuleba told ABC News in a video interview from Kyiv.
