"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Donald Trump to broker peace in Ukraine like in the Middle East during a phone call, saying if the United States president could stop one war, others can be stopped as well. Saturday's call came a day after Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy grid, knocking out power to parts of the capital, Kyiv, and nine other Ukrainian regions, which have since been restored."
"I had a call with US President Donald Trump. A very positive and productive one, Zelenskyy said on Facebook, congratulating Trump for his outstanding ceasefire plan in the Middle East. If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped as well, including the Russian war, Zelenskyy added, calling for Trump to pressure the Kremlin into negotiations."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Donald Trump to broker peace in Ukraine similar to the Gaza ceasefire and called on him to pressure the Kremlin into negotiations. The phone call followed a large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine's energy grid that knocked out power to parts of Kyiv and nine other regions; power has since been restored. Diplomatic efforts to end Russia's invasion have slowed as global attention shifted to brokering a ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza. Trump announced a first-phase ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and previously met Vladimir Putin in August without securing a ceasefire in Europe. Relations between Trump and Zelenskyy have warmed, and Melania Trump said she secured the release of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia via a back channel.
