Zelenskyy States Readiness For Energy Truce, Awaiting Details from the US

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about the possibility of an energy truce between Ukraine and Russia. As the Ukrainian leader shared on social media, he is awaiting details on the energy truce that US President Donald Trump previously announced.

Zelenskyy confirmed his readiness to support such a truce, provided that Russia also agrees to participate. He emphasized Ukraine's commitment to de-escalation steps and the importance of Russia's involvement. Zelenskyy recalled that Ukraine always supports de-escalation measures, protecting lives, and decisions to end the war and ensure lasting peace.

While acknowledging Trump's announcement of an energy truce, Zelenskyy expressed surprise at the news. He stated that Ukraine's armed forces have received the relevant orders and that they await Putin's response to Trump's declaration. The Ukrainian president mentioned that Ukraine is willing to refrain from striking Russian energy infrastructure if Russia stops attacking Ukrainian energy facilities.

Russia has recently targeted the Kharkiv CHP-5 power plant, and the country continued attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure throughout the day, employing aerial bombs and Shaheds. Earlier, Trump accused Zelenskyy of being unwilling to end the war and ignoring instructions not to target Russian oil refineries. In response, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would cease striking Russian oil refineries if Russia stops attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
