Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced at a news conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Alexander Stubb that he will speak with U.S. President Donald Trump later today to discuss the details of Trump’s recent ceasefire talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
“Today I will have contact with President Trump. We will discuss the details of the next steps with him,” Zelenskyy said, emphasizing the importance of this conversation amid conflicting reports from the Kremlin. He noted that Putin’s claim to have stopped striking energy infrastructure stands “very much at odds with reality” following a series of drone attacks that have rattled the country.
Zelenskyy also warned that territorial concessions would be one of the toughest issues in future negotiations. “For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian. We will not go for it,” he declared, reaffirming Ukraine’s firm stance on protecting its sovereignty.
This update comes on the heels of recent developments, including Russia’s refusal to endorse a full 30-day ceasefire during discussions with its American counterpart—a decision that precipitated further military actions, such as overnight drone strikes on civilian areas and damage to key infrastructure.
As diplomatic efforts continue amid escalating tensions, today’s conversation between Zelenskyy and Trump is seen as a critical juncture in determining the next phase of international engagement aimed at curbing the conflict and protecting Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
