Zelensky could still attend Trump-Putin meeting, but rest of Europe is shut out

Russian president denies involvement in nuclear plant sabotage

Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied allegations that Moscow was behind the bombing of the Zaporizhia nuclear plant. Putin vowed that Russia would use ''all available means'' to protect its nuclear facilities. It appears that despite increasing sanctions against Russia, President Putin still intends to attend the Trump-Putin meeting, but rest of Europe is shut out.

The European Union responds

The European Union has announced that it will ban Russian media outlets in response to the sabotage of the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, which it has blamed on Russia.
