One of the key topics of discussion was rail strikes, and the impact these could have next month on people travelling to watch the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool and the men's football FA Cup final in London.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper said strikes coinciding with Eurovision were being carried out "cynically", and did not show "solidarity" with Ukraine - the country for whom the UK is hosting the event.

"I have met the head of Ukrainians railways.

Putin's targeting Ukrainian railways.

There are hundreds of Ukrainian railway staff who have been killed," he explained.

The Aslef union says train drivers will take industrial action on 12 May, as part of a long-running row over pay, when many fans will be travelling to Liverpool to watch the song contest.

After the RMT union rejected the latest pay offer from train operators, its members will strike on 13 May - the day of the live grand final.

There's been no fresh response from either union to Harper's comments.
