Ukraine has rejected a fresh US proposal to redraw its borders in an attempt to unblock peace talks with Russia, The Telegraph can disclose.

Donald Trump's peace envoys suggested a territorial fudge that would see Russia claim complete control over the front line of the Donbas regions without Kyiv surrendering the cities it still holds there.

The US-led effort to end the war has largely stalled over Russian demands for Ukraine to cede about 2,000 square miles of territory in Donetsk and Luhansk that Moscow's military has been unable to conquer.
