Zelensky: Russia does not want to agree to a ceasefire
Yesterday, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, during his online speech at the Warsaw Security Summit, assured that Ukraine would support the ceasefire when it comes to energy infrastructure. We have been asking for this for months, bringing up this idea of a ceasefire in the energy domain. We agreed to this suspension and the American team knows perfectly well what it means for us, Zelensky said. However, as he noted immediately after Trump's entry on Truth Social, "Russia deliberately struck the power plant located in Kharkov, causing further damage to our power system."
On Monday afternoon, Zelensky posted an entry on social media referring once again to Trump's proposal. “It is increasingly clear that Russia does not want to agree to the US-proposed ceasefire on energy attacks and intends to continue terrorist air attacks on our people and communities,” wrote the Ukrainian president. "Just today, the Russians attacked six energy facilities in Ukraine," he emphasized.
Trump: We have to persuade Zelensky
Yesterday, journalists asked Donald Trump how he planned to persuade Putin to enter into an energy truce.
"I think what's happening is he (Putin) wants to make a deal and we have to get Zelensky to want to make a deal," Trump said.
When asked by PAP what he based his belief in Russia's inclination, given its attacks, the president repeated that he thought the two leaders would reach an agreement.
"I actually think Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelensky," Trump said before flying to Ohio.
The American leader several times, answering other questions on a similar topic, expressed confidence that Russia and Ukraine would reach an agreement.
"They agreed because I said they agreed"
Zelensky and Putin must get together and end this ridiculous war. This month they lost 32 thousand. people in this war, it's absurd, he said.
When asked why he announced an energy ceasefire even though neither country knew about it, Trump said both agreed. Do you know why? Because I said: you agree. They agreed because I said they agreed. This war must be resolved. This war is a disaster, he said.
When asked about Russia's violation of the agreements, he said he had to look into it because he thought there were violations on both sides.
