Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that he would speak with US President Donald Trump Wednesday and expected to hear more about the American leader’s phone call with Russian President Putin about a ceasefire and to discuss the next steps to be taken.
He said he expects to hear more about Trump’s call with Putin about a ceasefire and to discuss the next steps.
But Zelenskyy said a vow by Putin not to attack energy infrastructure was “very much at odds with reality” following an overnight barrage of drone strikes across Ukraine.
“Even last night, after Putin’s conversation with … Trump, when Putin said that he was allegedly giving orders to stop strikes on Ukrainian energy, there were 150 drones launched overnight, including on energy facilities,” Zelenskyy said at a news conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
Russia said it had halted its targeting of Ukraine’s energy facilities and accused Kyiv of attacking equipment near one of its pipelines.
