Today, I’ll speak with Denmark, and I’ll speak with Lithuania – with the prime ministers. Tomorrow, we have important negotiations in the United Kingdom. This week, we’ll also be holding talks with the European Union. There will be support packages for Ukraine, and we are also making progress in the negotiations on our accession to the European Union.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone call with Federal Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that greater pressure on Russian entities, particularly those involved in the production of ballistic missiles and “shaheds,” is the right and necessary signal if there is a serious commitment to ending Russia’s war.

“We are waiting to see what specific steps the Americans are ready to take. This energy ceasefire can work. And it can become a major step toward ending the war – if the Americans truly step in now and make sure Russia respects the energy ceasefire,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.

Everyone in America knows our position, and many support that very position – that everything must be fair. Ukraine is ready for an energy ceasefire, and we are the ones who have repeatedly proposed such a ceasefire. Russia must take its own steps toward “silence.”

Last night, Russian oil refineries were not burning. But at midnight, a Russian jet-powered “shahed” struck a gas-production facility in Ukraine. And there was also a Russian strike on an ordinary gas station, involving several drones. And repair crews are still working to fix the damage from yesterday’s attacks. So there were Russian violations of the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held phone calls with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney, President of Finland Alexander Stubb, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
