U.S. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to negotiate an end to their nearly four-year war, amid ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which have forced nuclear power plants to reduce output. The U.S. plans to pressure both sides to meet this deadline and has proposed trilateral talks in Miami. Despite discussions, no progress was made on contentious issues, including Russia’s demands regarding the Donbas region. Zelenskyy expressed skepticism about a U.S. proposal for a free economic zone in Donbas and reiterated Ukraine’s commitment to a ceasefire if Russia adheres to agreements.
