Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signalled that a ceasefire on energy infrastructure strikes could be swiftly arranged, provided Russia complies with the agreement.
Following a call with U.S. President Donald Trump—marking their first conversation since a tense Oval Office meeting—Kyiv is drafting a list of critical sites for a truce, with Washington acting as a mediator. The proposal may extend beyond energy facilities to include rail and port infrastructure.
Zelenskyy confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. However, he stressed the need for a formal agreement before any pause takes effect. Talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials are expected to continue in Saudi Arabia later this week.
Trump suggested U.S. involvement in Ukraine’s energy sector, but Zelenskyy clarified that their discussion was limited to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. He indicated that Kyiv may consider U.S. investment in the facility’s modernisation if it is returned to Ukrainian control.
Despite progress on the energy front, Zelenskyy voiced scepticism about a broader ceasefire while Ukrainian troops remain in Russia’s Kursk region. Meanwhile, Ukraine has received additional F-16 fighter jets but has not disclosed details regarding their quantity or arrival date.
As negotiations unfold, Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. continue to explore ways to de-escalate tensions, with energy infrastructure at the centre of the latest diplomatic efforts.
