Zelenskyy says U.S. gave Ukraine and Russia a June deadline to reach agreement to end war
The U.S. demands a ceasefire and timetable amid Russia's large-scale attacks on Ukraine's energy grid, with over 400 drones and 40 missiles launched in recent strikes, officials said.
- The U.S. proposed a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to reach a deal, and offered to host trilateral talks next week in Miami, Zelenskyy said, 'We confirmed our participation.'
- After an unsuccessful energy ceasefire and Abu Dhabi talks, repeated Russian strikes on energy infrastructure during a bitter winter have intensified humanitarian pressure on Kyiv.
- Overnight, more than 400 drones and about 40 missiles hit eight facilities in eight regions, forcing nuclear power plants to reduce output as Ukrenergo said, "all nuclear power plants in the territories under control were forced to reduce their load."
- As a result, emergency blackouts left hundreds of thousands without power, with 1,100 buildings in Kyiv and more than 600,000 subscribers in Lviv affected, and all Ukrainian regions extending hourly outages.
- The U.S. proposed a June deadline, but if missed, the Trump administration will likely pressure both sides, while Russia demands Donbas concessions, and Zelenskyy cites the 'Dmitriev package' as a Russian offer.
