U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy have reached an agreement on a “partial ceasefire against energy” during a Wednesday phone call, according to a White House statement. The discussion focused on reducing hostilities affecting critical energy infrastructure amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
The leaders addressed developments in the Kursk region and emphasized coordination between defense teams to monitor battlefield dynamics. Zelenskyy reportedly requested advanced air defense systems, including Patriot missile batteries, to bolster Ukraine’s security. Trump committed to identifying available resources in Europe for potential deployment.
Notably, Trump proposed U.S. involvement in managing Ukraine’s nuclear power plants and electrical networks, stating American oversight could “provide the best protection” for critical infrastructure. The call reflects evolving international efforts to stabilize Ukraine’s energy sector while navigating complex geopolitical challenges.
