Zelenskyy: No requests made today for Ukraine to stop strikes against Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump that no requests were made today for Ukraine to cease its strikes against Russia. Zelenskyy emphasized that there were no demands for Ukraine to unilaterally halt its strikes and instead discussed the possibility of an energy ceasefire as a potential first step towards ending the war.

He expressed the hope that if Russian President Vladimir Putin were to communicate through intermediaries like Witkoff and Jared Kushner that he is open to meeting and negotiations, the American team would relay these messages to Putin, paving the way for discussions on a potential meeting.
