Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday said he would hold talks with White House leader Donald Trump, as Moscow and Kyiv reported overnight attacks hours after the Kremlin agreed to a Washington-brokered partial ceasefire.
“Today I will have contact with President Trump. We will discuss the details of the next steps with him. We really had a good meeting of our teams in Jeddah. I think everything went well, if not for Russia, which is always not happy when something goes right”, Zelenskyy said Wednesday during a news conference in Helsinki, according to Google-translated comments carried by Ukrainian outlet Ukrinform.
Moscow and Kyiv had appeared to hit a breakthrough on Tuesday, as Russian President Vladimir Putin acceded to a U.S.-negotiated immediate ceasefire against specific targets — a narrower truce than what Trump initially discussed with Zelenskyy, but a first step to dialing down the fighting that has devastated Ukraine for more than three years.
“We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure”, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post after his Tuesday call with Putin, stressing the agreement was a precursor for broader negotiations for a permanent ceasefire set to kick off in the Middle East.
