Zelenskyy announces video call with US side on Wednesday

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced a video call with the U.S. side on Wednesday, April 1.

"Tomorrow, a conversation with the American side was planned in video format. I will join it. They also asked me to," Zelenskyy told journalists during Bucha summit on Tuesday.

The president added that from the Ukrainian side, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov would take part in the call, while from the U.S. side it would include Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The conversation will concern "where we are now" and preparations for a possible "at least trilateral meeting."

Zelenskyy also said he would pass on to the United States a proposal for an energy truce, although no such signals had come from the Russian side.

"There have been no signals from the Russian side to us. At least, we have not received any. Tomorrow I will definitely pass this on to the United States.... I will ask them to convey this proposal to the Russian side," he said.
