Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday he would ask U.S. mediators to pass Kyiv's offer of an Easter ceasefire for strikes on energy infrastructure to Russia, after the Kremlin said it lacked any detailed proposals, APA reports citing Reuters.
Zelenskyy said he would meet online on Wednesday with U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner - U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law - as well as NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte to discuss the status of U.S.-brokered peace negotiations with Russia over its war in Ukraine.
"I will definitely convey this proposal to the U.S. tomorrow, and I will definitely ask them to pass it on to the Russian side," Zelenskyy told reporters at an event to mark the fourth anniversary of a massacre in Bucha, a town near the capital Kyiv. "If they attack us, we will respond. If they agree to stop the attacks on our energy infrastructure, we will reciprocate."
