Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would speak with the US president, Donald Trump, on Wednesday, their first conversation since last month’s disastrous Oval Office meeting, as the Ukrainian president warned Vladimir Putin’s pledge to halt strikes on energy infrastructure was “very much at odds with reality” after a barrage of drone attacks across the country.
Russia carried out overnight strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure despite Putin agreeing in a call with Trump on Tuesday to avoid such targets for 30 days.
