US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy have said that they had a constructive call on Wednesday about moving towards a ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow, with the White House suggesting that the US could take control of Ukrainian power plants to ensure their security.
Trump told Zelenskyy that the US could be "very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise," according to a White House statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz that described the call as "fantastic."
