Selenskyj and Trump: Hope for energy arms in sight!

In a dramatic exchange of information, Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj and US President Donald Trump recently agreed by phone. The conversation on Wednesday focused significantly on a potential "energy and infrastructure ceasefire" in Ukraine. Trump explained on his Truth Social platform that the conversation was mainly based on a previous phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was about clarifying the differences on both sides. Trump was optimistic and announced that "we were on a very good way", while Selenskyj rated the conversation as "positive" and technical meetings with American teams to implement the ceasefire, as krone.at reported.

Despite the diplomatic efforts, the situation remained tense. Already after the telephone conversation there were massive Russian drone attacks on Ukraine, in which the energy infrastructure was also attacked. The Ukrainian military reported that 145 drones were used, 72 of which could be intercepted. The Ukrainian President sharply criticized that such attacks should not be accepted and spoke of a "terrible war" between Russia and Ukraine. Selenskyj expressed concerns about the prospect of ceasefire and emphasized that the United States needed a form of supervision about compliance with agreements, as in the reports of zdf.de documented.
