Ukraine has agreed to a limited ceasefire with Russia after President Zelenskyy spoke with US President Donald Trump. As per Trump, the call with Zelenskyy meant that "we are back on track" with the ceasefire deal.
Despite Ukraine's push for a 30-day ceasefire, after Trump and Putin's call regarding the truce, Russia stated it will stop strikes on energy and civilian facilities. While Zelensky accused the Russian leader of "dragging out the war", the Ukrainian leader has agreed to this "limited truce".
Details regarding when this truce will be implemented are yet to be shared.
“We have received signals from the United States that we are talking about the ceasefire on energy facilities, so not to attack energy infrastructure, and we are also talking about the civilian infrastructure facilities,” Zelenskyy said on social media platform X.
"We instructed our teams to resolve technical issues related to implementing and expanding the partial ceasefire. Ukrainian and American teams are ready to meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to continue coordinating steps toward peace. We instructed our advisors and representatives to carry out this work as quickly as possible," he added further.
This phone call with Trump also comes after the very public spat between the two leaders in February at the Oval Office.
Zelenskyy added that he and Trump discussed the possibility of the US owning the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine.
As per White House officials, Trump told Zelenskyy that the US could be “very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise," adding that "American ownership of those plants could be the best protection for that infrastructure."
