Zelenskyy Accuses Putin of Energy Infrastructure Attacks, Plans Trump Talk

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed skepticism over Russian President Vladimir Putin's promise not to attack energy infrastructure, highlighting a series of drone strikes that occurred shortly after a phone call between Trump and Putin. Despite Russia's agreement to a limited ceasefire regarding energy attacks, trust remains low, as both nations accused each other of targeting their respective energy facilities. Zelenskyy emphasized that any negotiations regarding territorial concessions would not include recognition of occupied Ukrainian territories as Russian. The ongoing strikes have significantly impacted civilian infrastructure, including a hospital in Sumy. Additionally, while Ukraine is open to suspending attacks on Russian energy sites for 30 days, Zelenskyy warned that they would respond to any Russian aggression. The discussions between Trump and Putin are seen as a potential starting point for peace efforts, although a comprehensive ceasefire remains elusive.
