Zelenskyy on whether US demand any steps from Ukraine regarding ceasefire

"The mood was right, sufficiently detailed. We discussed our next steps and demands regarding the partial ceasefire. And today, we see it this way," Zelenskyy shared.

According to him, today Ukraine sees signals from the American side indicating that the focus is likely on an energy truce.

"We received signals that it’s most likely about an energy truce, not striking at the energy infrastructure of both countries. It also concerns civilian infrastructure," Zelenskyy stated.

At the same time, Zelensky told Trump that "civilian infrastructure" is a broad term. Therefore, Ukraine will prepare a list of priority facilities.

"We consider civilian infrastructure to include things like railways, and we will also talk about port infrastructure. I don’t know what the partners will confirm, but we will prepare, and the relevant technical team will go. The meeting will be in the coming days," he emphasized.

30-day ceasefire

Last night, US President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They agreed that the path to peace would begin with a ceasefire targeting energy and infrastructure facilities, as well as "technical negotiations on the implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace."

During the call, Putin emphasized the need to halt Ukraine's mobilization and rearmament of its armed forces if a ceasefire were to be established.

Today, Trump also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the initial steps toward a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Following the conversation, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is willing to cease attacks on Russian energy and infrastructure targets. Trump described his talks with Zelenskyy as "very well."
