Zelenskyy says Ukraine may halt strikes if Russia spares infrastructure

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Ukraine is ready to halt its strikes on Russian territory if allies can secure a genuine Russian commitment not to hit Ukraine's critical infrastructure. His comments followed a social media post by U.S. President Donald Trump claiming Russia and Ukraine had agreed not to target each other's energy infrastructure, though Trump provided no further details. Russia did not immediately comment on Trump's claim. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has proposed that partners help secure an agreement with Russia for a ceasefire. "Every day, Ukrainian energy facilities, port infrastructure, logistics, even food and pharmaceutical warehouses become targets," he said. "The war must be ended. And a de-escalation step regarding critical infrastructure could be a first step toward peace." Zelenskyy said he expects concrete proposals from partners. Trump's call on Sunday for Zelenskyy to stop targeting Russian oil refineries and other diesel infrastructure came as diesel prices in the U.S. hit a record, soaring past an average of $6 per gallon.
