Russia says Ukrainian attacks kill six in Belgorod
Russia has blamed Ukraine for attacks that killed six people in Belgorod last night.
Russia's emergencies ministry said four bodies were pulled from the rubble of a five-story apartment building in the town of Shebekino.
Pictures showed a crane clearing debris and a building's facade shattered, with one stairwell collapsed.
Regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said a Ukrainian drone struck a car in a village near Shebekino, killing the driver.
He also said a woman was killed in her home when it was struck by rocket fire in the village of Oktyabrsky, further west.
There was no immediate comment from Kyiv.
Russia launched a fresh incursion across the border from Belgorod in Kharkiv last month, opening up a second front in the war.
In pictures: Back on the frontlines in Ukraine
While world leaders gather to discuss peace in Switzerland, troops continue to fight on the frontlines in Ukraine.
Pictures show apartment buildings reduced to rubble in residential areas turned to ghost-towns to the east.
In Toretsk, Donetsk region, the frames of windows are all that is left of one block, hanging between two others.
Meanwhile, in Chasiv Yar, Ukrainian soldiers were photographed firing 120mm mortar towards Russian positions.
Potential host of follow-up summit says 'difficult compromise' required
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister says any peace talks will involve "difficult compromise".
The country is viewed as one of the leading candidates to host what is being mooted as a follow-up conference to this weekend's gathering of dozens of world leaders in Switzerland.
Speaking at the Swiss peace summit, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said any credible negotiations will need Russia's participation.
"We believe it is important that the international communityencourage any step towards serious negotiations which willrequire difficult compromise as part of a road map that leads to peace."
Macron blasts Russian 'war crimes' | US brands Putin's peace plan 'completely absurd'
World leaders are speaking throughout the day in Switzerland at a peace summit called by Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
We're bringing you the key moments from the talks, and this update includes comments on nuclear safety, war crimes and Vladimir Putin's "absurd vision".
Emmanuel Macron
The French leader says one of the key priorities of the talks must be about securing nuclear safety around the Zaporizhizhia power plant.
Allies must also "not to accept any complacency vis-a-vis the attacks targeting civilian targets and infrastructure in Ukraine. These are war crimes", he said.
Russia has denied all allegations of war crimes.
"What is at stake is our international rules and the possibility to have peace everywhere. Because in launching this war, Russia decided first to be an imperialist regime," said Mr Macron.
"This summit is a milestone to reiterate our attachment to the core principles of our international laws."
Jake Sullivan
The WhiteHouse national security adviser branded Russia's latest peace proposal a "completely absurd vision."
It would only lead tofurther domination of the country, he said.
China's absence from the peace summit was probably a result of entreaties from Russia notto attend, Mr Sullivan added.
Finnish president
Finland's president Alexander Stubb called for follow-up talks as soon as possible because "peace is... always a process".
"We have 1,300 kilometres of border with Russia... Russiainvaded Finland in World War Two, we lost 10% of our territory,including the land where my grandparents were born and where myfather was born."
Key comments from Zelenskyy, Sunak and EU chief at peace summit
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Moscow was not invited to the Swiss summit because the Kremlin is not interested in peace.
European commission President Ursula von der Leyen told world leaders accepting Russian troops on Ukrainian land was a "recipe for future wars of aggression".
And Rishi Sunak was asked whether the West has been too scared of Vladimir Putin to help Ukraine defeat him.
Here are the details...
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
"There is no need to reinvent the wheel when the UN charter already defines the foundations of peace and normal co-existence of peoples," he told leaders gathered near Lucerne.
"There is no Russia here - why? Because if Russia was interested in peace, there would be no war.
"We must decide together what a just peace means for the world and how it can be achieved in a truly lasting way."
Ursula von der Leyen
"Freezing the conflict today, with foreign troops occupyingUkrainian land, is not the answer.
"It is a recipe for futurewars of aggression.
"Instead we need to support a comprehensive, just andsustainable peace for Ukraine. One that restores Ukraine'ssovereignty and its territorial integrity."
Rishi Sunak
Asked if the West has been too scared of Vladimir Putin to help Ukraine defeat him, he said the UK was " not going anywhere" and Kyiv's allies are "with Ukraine for as long as it takes".
"Crucially at the G7 summit over the past few days we reached a landmark agreement to make sure it's Russia who pays for more military support and economic reconstruction of Ukraine using trapped and seized Russian assets".
Putin's 'absurd' peace proposal a 'hollow attempt to seduce the West'
Vladimir Putin's purported interest in peace negotiations is a hollow attempt to "seduce" the West, war analysts say.
His "absurd ultimatums" are part of a campaign to sabotage the Swiss peace conference and mislead Kyiv's allies to permit the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The Russian leader's so-called peace plan included Ukraine surrendering almost 20% of its territory and abandoning its aspirations to join NATO, and the West lifting all sanctions and recognising part of Ukraine as Russian.
"The Kremlin is not interested in good faith negotiations with Ukraine and only feigns its interest in negotiations as part of a wider informational effort intended to convince the West to pre-emptively make concessions that violate Ukraine's sovereignty," said the ISW.
Mr Putin's demands would "irrevocably damage the principle of state sovereignty and the inviolability of international borders".
The ISW called Mr Putin's promise to respect a ceasefire "particularly hollow following months of Russian war crimes against Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war".
Russia denies allegations of committing war crimes.
The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for Mr Putin's arrest.
"Putin's demands continue to reflect his long-demanded ultimatums that are based on presuppositions that deny the existence of an independent and sovereign Ukraine and that seek to seduce the West to pre-emptively compromise on Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," said the ISW.
Relatives of captive soldiers plead for more pressure on Moscow
Demonstrators have travelled hundreds of miles to plead their case as world leaders arrive in Switzerland.
Some 250 people, many of them relatives of Ukrainian soldiers, waved banners and shouted slogans in Lucerne to draw attention to the fate of troops taken prisoner by Russia.
Many do not know if their loved ones have been killed or taken.
"I must do everything in my power to get my husband back," said Svitlana Bilous, 34, from Kharkiv.
"I'm clinging to the idea that my husband is still alive... that's what keeps me going. If I could send him a message, it would be simply that I love him."
Anatoliy went missing in April last year and Svitlana has only heard he is alive but has had no direct contact with him.
"We want specific actions regarding the return of prisoners
of war, admission of the International Committee of the Red
Cross to all places of detention," she said.
The families want the world powers in attendance at Volodymyr Zelenskyy's peace summit to find ways to press Moscow to hand over information, improve the conditions of any captives and send them home.
Approximately 8,000 people - civilians and soldiers - are in Russian hands, Ukrainian officials said in February.
"All of us have the same dream," said one women at the demonstration.
"We want our relatives to be found and returned from captivity."
Sunak, Trudeau and other leaders arrive
World leaders are arriving at the peace summit in Switzerland.
Rishi Sunak, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau,Saudi Arabian foreign minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud and Japanese prime ministerFumio Kishida were among those photographed in Buergenstock Resort, near Lucerne.
"Ukraine never wanted this war. It's a criminal andabsolutely unprovoked aggression by Russia," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, alongsideSwiss president Viola Amherd.
She added the conflict had brought"unimaginable suffering" and violated international law.
UK, US and Germany among nations backing Olympic global conflict truce, Italy says
The G7 unanimously backed a French proposal to request a global truce during the Olympic Games, the Italian prime minister says.
Paris will host the Games from 26 July to 11 August, followed by the Paralympics from 28 August to 8 September, and French president Emmanuel Macron is pushing for temporary pauses in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan.
The G7 leaders urged "all countries to observe the Olympic Truce individually and collectively," their statement said.
The Group of Seven includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
"It was a French request, a good request, it was unanimously included," said Italy's Giorgia Meloni.
Seeking to suspend armed conflicts under an Olympic truce is a longstanding tradition and the final G7 communique made reference to a United Nations General Assembly resolution on the topic adopted in November.
Listen: Is new Ukraine support a 'game-changer?'
In a show of unity aimed at President Putin, G7 leaders meeting in Italy this week finally agreed to a deal to use profits from frozen Russian assets to provide around $50bn (£40bn) worth of support to Ukraine.
And in another significant announcement, Joe Biden signed a 10-year bilateral security deal between the US and Ukraine which Kyiv is calling "historic".
On this episode of Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson explores the impact these deals will have for Ukraine in its war against Russia with international editor Dominic Waghorn.
