Zelensky Agrees to Energy Ceasefire but Doubts Putin's Commitment
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the U.S. is pushing for a mutual halt to strikes on energy infrastructure, reopening the Black Sea grain corridor, and a trilateral meeting with Russia. While Kyiv is ready to agree to the energy truce, Zelensky expressed skepticism that Moscow will follow through, noting that Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv minutes before his interview. The U.S. aims to secure these steps before winter, with potential talks in Abu Dhabi or at the December G20 summit in Miami.
