‘Putin Doesn’t Read Truth Social’—Zelenskyy Says Russia Is Ignoring Trump’s ‘Energy Ceasefire’ Call
Zelenskyy said an energy ceasefire and steps to de-escalate the conflict are “truly needed” and not just on “Truth Social,” in response to Trump’s Sunday announcement.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed readiness to discuss holding elections once a full ceasefire agreement is reached. He also noted that Russia has already violated the energy truce announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. In an address to the Warsaw Security Forum, Zelenskyy highlighted a Russian strike on a power plant in Kharkiv and noted that Russian oil refineries remained operational overnight.
He further stated that the number of internet bots had decreased since Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers. Zelenskyy indicated Ukraine's willingness to sign guarantees for a ceasefire and is awaiting details of the talks between the U.S. and Russia. Previously, Zelenskyy had told ABC News that Ukraine would hold elections if Russian President Putin agreed to a 60-day truce, emphasizing that only Ukrainians can decide on the timing and manner of the elections.
On Sunday, Zelenskyy reported that Russian forces had struck a Kyiv power plant with a Shahed drone and targeted energy facilities in the Kharkiv region following Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire.
