Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he needs more details about peace proposals following President Donald Trump’s call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, warning that “For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian.” Zelenskyy announced he plans to speak with Trump Wednesday after the president told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that he spent nearly two hours on the phone Tuesday with Putin. “We will discuss the details of the next steps with him,” Zelenskyy said. “For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian. We will not go for it.” Zelenskyy added that attacks continue to strike Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, despite U.S. and Russia saying Tuesday that Trump and Putin agreed to a ceasefire against those targets. Russia launched a series of drone strikes that struck civilian areas overnight and damaged a hospital in Ukraine. WHAT’S NEXT IN THE RUSSIA, UKRAINE CEASEFIRE TALKS? Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy looks on during a joint press conference with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb at the Presidential Palace, in Helsinki, Finland, on Wednesday, March 19. “We will support any proposals that lead to a sustainable, just peace. But for this we must understand what is at stake. What are the details? And I hope to God that we know all these details, so that the partners talk to us. Because there are two sides in this war – Russia and Ukraine. Trying to negotiate without Ukraine, in my view, will not be productive,” Zelenskyy said Tuesday. “We support all steps toward ending the war. We will give support, but in order to support something we need to understand what specifically it is,” he added. Trump described his call with Putin as “very good and productive” on Truth Social. “Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end,” Trump wrote. “That process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!” RUSSIA ORDERS PARTIAL CEASEFIRE AFTER CALL WITH TRUMP BUT NOT THE ONE HOPED FOR Firefighters respond to a Russian attack in Krasnopillia, in the Sumy region of Ukraine, on Wednesday, March 19.
