Escalating international tensions amid the search for a Ukrainian peace deal continue to dominate headlines on Tuesday.
The Guardian, the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph lead on the deepening rift between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr Trump suggested Mr Zelensky “won’t be around very long” and condemned earlier comments from the Ukrainian leader who suggested a deal with Russia seemed “very far away”.
