"Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead," Zelensky said in an interview for CBS's 60 Minutes programme.

The interview was recorded before a Russian missile hit the city of Sumy, killing 34 people and injuring 117 others.

Russia said it only strikes military or military-related targets while Trump said he had been told it was a mistake, without specifying who told him.

Germany's chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Merz, has accused Russia of a war crime.
