Ukrainian President Voldymir Zelensky said more details about the peace proposal were needed following President Donald Trump's call with Russia's Vladimir Putin, warning that “for us, the red line is the recognition of the territory that temporarily occupied the territory.”
Zelenskyy announced his plans to talk to Trump on Wednesday after the president told Fox News that he spent nearly two hours on the phone with Putin on Tuesday on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“I'll explain in detail about the next steps with him,” Zelensky said. “For us, the red line is that Ukrainians recognize temporary occupied territory as Russians. We won't go for it.”
Zelenskyy added that the attack continues to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure, despite us and Russia saying that Trump and Putin agreed to a ceasefire against those targets on Tuesday. Russia launched a series of drone strikes that raided civilian regions overnight and damaged hospitals in Ukraine.
What will be next for Russia, and will there be a ceasefire talks in Ukraine?
Ukrainian President Voldymiazelensky is taking a look at the presidential palace held in Helsinki, Finland on Wednesday, March 19th at the presidential palace, and at the Finland president Alexander Stubb.
“We support proposals that lead to sustainable peace, but we need to understand that this is at risk, and we want God to know all of these details.
“We support every step of ending the war. We provide support, but in order to support something, we need to understand what it is,” he added.
Trump described his call with Putin as “very well productive” about the true society.
“Many elements of the contract for peace have been discussed, in which thousands of soldiers have been killed, and both Putin and Zelensky want to end it,” Trump wrote. “That process is now fully powerful and effective. We hope that we can get the job done for humanity!”

The White House said the leaders agreed that the move to peace would begin with a ceasefire of energy and infrastructure, and technical negotiations on the maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, a complete ceasefire and the implementation of permanent peace.
“These negotiations will soon begin in the Middle East,” he added.
In the call, Putin also said a complete suspension of military aid to Ukraine was an important condition for ending the war, Russian state-run TASS news agency reported, citing the Kremlin.
But Trump told Fox News, “We didn't actually talk about aid.”

“We didn't talk about aid at all,” he said. “We talked about a lot, but the aid was never discussed.”
