Volodymyr Zelenskyj stressed that foreign aid for Ukraine must continue despite peace negotiations with Russia. The US urged them to supervise the ceasefire.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Genskyj announced on Wednesday that he would talk to US leader Donald Trump during the day about his Tuesday interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Zelensky, any peaceful steps in the conflict in Ukraine should not mean the end of foreign aid for Kiev and the United States should be supervised to comply with any agreement. TASR reports on this based on AFP reports.
“Today I will communicate with President Trump and discuss the next steps,” he said at a press conference during a visit to Finland.
Putin’s condition of the end of the war
The US President agreed on a 30-day suspension of attacks on the energy infrastructure and the creation of expert groups to end the war during a Tuesday phone call with Putin. Putin demanded a solution to take into account the security interests of Russia and the underlying causes of the conflict. As a condition of the end of the war, he set a complete cessation of foreign military aid and the exchange of intelligence with Ukraine.
Although Greeding proposal for a 30-day stop of attacks on energy infrastructure in the war supported Tuesday, he stressed on Wednesday that the supply of aid for Ukraine remains crucial. “I do not think we should make some concessions about the help of Ukraine, but rather there should be an increase in help for Ukraine,” he said.
At a press conference in Helsinki, he also added that “the United States should be the main control entity” in the event of an energy infrastructure ceasefire.
