Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that he plans to speak with the US President Donald Trump today so that he could hear more about his call with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin. According to AP, Zelenskyy said at a news conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Alexander Stubb that he will contact President Trump today.

“Today I will have contact with President Trump,” Zelenskyy said.

“We will discuss the details of the next steps with him,” Zelenskyy added as quoted by AP.

The Ukrainian leader also said that Putin's agreement to stop striking energey infrastructure were  “very much at odds with reality” following a series of drone attacks across the country. Zelenskyy also said that one of the most difficult issues in future negotiuations would be the issue of territorail consessions, reports AP.

“For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian. We will not go for it,” he said.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron called on Russia to accept the US-brokered proposal for an interim 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine and emphasised that atrocities must stop. He also criticised Russia for delaying statements based on the proposed deal following the discussion with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer.

"I spoke today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and then with Prime Minister Kier Starmer following the progress made during the meeting between the United States and Ukraine in Jeddah on Tuesday. Russia must now accept the U.S.-Ukrainian proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. The Russian aggression in Ukraine must end. The atrocities must stop. So must the delaying statements," Macron wrote in a post on X.

Macron also assured unwavering support of France to Ukraine to achieve peace and informed that all partners will hold a video conference to discuss the issue.
