In his nightly video address, Zelenskiy also said Ukraine supported President Donald Trump’s proposed energy truce as long as Russia observed it.
"Our team has sent the American side the relevant proposals regarding possible next meetings and conversations. In the coming days, we are ready to meet and I passed this proposal on to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner through my team."
