The US imposes a June deadline for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, as President Zelenskyy discusses the ongoing conflict and potential economic proposal
During a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that the United States has set a June deadline for resolving the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
Zelenskyy mentioned that Russia presented a $12 trillion economic proposal, which he referred to as 'the Dmitriev package.' He expressed skepticism about the proposal and emphasized the need for a trilateral meeting to address the conflict effectively.
The US has proposed hosting the next round of trilateral talks in Miami, which Zelenskyy confirmed Ukraine's participation in. He highlighted that the discussion will focus on finding a clear schedule for ending the war and include steps to ensure accountability and transparency in the process.
Russian airstrikes continue to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure, causing significant power deficits and blackouts. This has exacerbated already difficult conditions for civilians, particularly during the harsh winter months. Zelenskyy stressed that the international community must hold Russia accountable for its actions and support Ukraine's efforts to maintain stability and security.
