In brief

US President Donald Trump criticised MS NOW after its correspondent asked about Putin's response to his ceasefire demands. RBC-Ukraine reported no substantive answer to the question.

Donald Trump refused to answer an MS NOW correspondent's question about Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine, according to RBC-Ukraine, which cited a White House broadcast.

The outlet said the exchange took place during a briefing with UFC chief Dana White on the evening of November 9, Kyiv time. According to its account, the correspondent referred to ceasefire deadlines Trump had set Putin over the preceding 22 months and to Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The reporter's question described Putin as ignoring Trump's demands.

Trump asked which outlet the correspondent represented, then called MS NOW fake and said he did not want to answer its question. He also attacked the network's ratings, although RBC-Ukraine's report included no audience figures supporting that assessment. The report described no new US decision on a ceasefire or policy towards Ukraine.
