Zelensky Says 'De-Escalation' with Russia Helps to Build Trust in Talks

The ceasefire on energy infrastructure, urged by U.S. diplomacy, aims to support Ukraine’s recovery and build trust for peace talks despite ongoing frontline shelling.

  • President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that Russia has largely observed a ceasefire on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
  • The Kremlin said Russia halted strikes last week after a personal request from U.S. President Donald Trump, and Zelenskiy said the truce began January 30 with measures starting last Friday.
  • Zelenskiy said Russia did not launch targeted missile or drone strikes on energy infrastructure in 24 hours, but shelling damaged frontline sites as DTEK reported a second coal mine attack in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
  • Zelenskiy said `The de-escalation measures... are helping to build public trust in the negotiation process and its possible outcome. The war needs to be ended,` after meeting his negotiating team, emphasizing the importance of an energy ceasefire amid bitter cold to avoid tragedy.
  • Despite the pause, Russia seeks Donetsk control, while Zelenskiy argued `when the United States has the motivation to genuinely change the situation, the situation can indeed change`.
