Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed that the United States is seeking to bring the war with Russia to a close by June, indicating that both nations are invited for discussions in the US next week. America proposed for the first time that the two negotiating teams – Ukraine and Russia – meet in the United States of America, probably in Miami, in a week. We confirmed our participation, Zelensky stated.
There was no immediate response from the US or Russia. US President Donald Trump has been advocating for an end to the conflict since resuming office over a year ago. As talks progress, Russia has continued its assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, resulting in widespread power outages amid freezing temperatures.
Zelensky detailed the recent US-brokered peace discussions in Abu Dhabi, which concluded without significant progress, citing persistent difficulties concerning necessary territorial concessions from Ukraine. He noted that the Americans have expressed a timeline for an agreement by June, potentially influenced by upcoming domestic issues in the US, including the midterm elections.
In the backdrop of these diplomatic efforts, Russia's relentless attacks on Ukraine have left numerous citizens without power and heat, especially during the harsh winter months. The main targets were energy facilities and distribution substations, Ukraine's energy minister reported. Emergency power supply requests have been issued to neighboring Poland as the situation deteriorates.
Zelensky condemned the ongoing attacks, stating, Russian criminals carried out another massive attack on Ukraine's energy facilities, with responses including potential counter-strikes targeting Russian military capabilities. The conflict continues to intensify as both nations grapple with the consequences of prolonged warfare.
