Putin Rejected Shipping Truce Offer: Zelenskyy
Moscow tied the proposal to limits on strikes on its energy sector as attacks on ships and ports threaten global grain supplies, officials said.
- On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia rejected a proposal to halt attacks on Black Sea grain ships, demanding instead guarantees against Ukrainian strikes on its energy infrastructure.
- Recent mutual attacks on commercial ships and ports have disrupted global grain trade, with Ukraine's Greater Odesa region ports handling about 90% of shipments and the two countries accounting for over a quarter of global wheat exports.
- Zelenskyy offered to discuss a reciprocal ceasefire, stating, "If it's about agriculture, then agriculture; if it's about energy, then energy." President Vladimir Putin dismissed such proposals as "unacceptable" or "exotic."
- At a Kyiv news conference with Nordic and Baltic leaders on Sunday, Zelenskyy highlighted a $27 billion military funding shortfall, emphasizing that $10 billion is needed immediately for winter weapons and protection.
- Rejecting calls for wartime elections, Zelenskyy described the prospect as a "tsunami" for Ukraine, citing constitutional prohibitions under martial law. The country last held presidential and parliamentary elections in 2019.
