President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the telephone conversation between US and Russian leaders Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. He said that Ukraine would support the proposal to end attacks on energy facilities that was made during those talks.

He said this during a conversation with journalists on 18 March, broadcast by Suspilne.

‘Russia and Ukraine, with the mediation of the United States, can agree not to attack energy infrastructure. Our side will support this. But it can't be that Russia will hit our energy sector and we will remain silent. We will respond,’ Zelenskyy said.

He noted that he currently has no detailed information about the format of the ceasefire that Donald Trump discussed with Putin.

‘I think it's right that we have a conversation with President Trump and we know the details of what the Russians offered the Americans, or what the Americans offered the Russians... After we get the details from the American president, from the American side, we will say our answer, we will prepare it, and the team will be ready for technical conversations,’ Zelenskyy said.

The president also noted that neither Ukraine nor its international partners would agree to the Kremlin's demands to stop foreign military and intelligence assistance to Kyiv.

As The Gaze previously reported, on 18 March, Trump and Putin held a telephone conversation during which they agreed that Moscow and Kyiv should cease mutual fire on energy and civilian infrastructure, and introduce a truce in the Black Sea.

Following the conversation, the White House said that peace talks on the Russian-Ukrainian war should ‘begin immediately in the Middle East’.
