The Public Record
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the President of Ukraine, having taken office in May 2019. A former comedian and television producer, he gained prominence through his role in the television series 'Servant of the People,' where he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president. Zelenskyy ran for office as a political outsider, campaigning on anti-corruption and reform agendas. His leadership has been particularly noted during the ongoing conflict with Russia, where he has sought to rally international support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Ukraine supports all genuine and reliable formats for a ceasefire and an end to the war. Ukraine is ready to refrain from striking Russian energy infrastructure – and we count on the same readiness from Russia, as well as on the agreement…
If President Trump negotiated it with Putin, please tell us when the ceasefire begins. We are ready, and we will accept it.
We very much hope that he will finally tell America, Ukraine, and the whole world something different.
“On this question, I know that Putin wanted very much to change the president in Ukraine.”
When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centres… it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms.
This energy ceasefire, it can work, and it can become a major step toward ending the war if the Americans truly step in now and make sure Russians respect it.
There were Russian violations of the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump.
If Russia wants us to stop our long-range strikes against its oil refineries and oil exports, then Russia must stop its strikes against our energy system and critical infrastructure, and stop killing our people. This is only fair.
We are ready to respect an energy ceasefire if Russia is ready to do the same. We agree, if they agree.
It would generate billions in extra revenue for Putin, enabling him to wage war even more intensely.
If Russia does not agree to an energy ceasefire this winter, we will respond.
The ceasefire announcement was news for me. But if Russians agree to an energy ceasefire Ukraine will agree. If president Trump negotiated it with Putin — please tell us when the ceasefire begins — we are ready and we will accept it.
Please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections.
Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it’s important for Russia to support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side. From our Ukrainian side, there is always FULL support for de-escalation steps, protection of lives, and…
All of this happened after the president of the United States made his statement about an energy ceasefire.
Ukraine is ready not to strike at Russian energy and we count on Russia's similar readiness and on the agreement of the president of the United States of America on this.
Give us two months, 60 days off. Total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections.
We are asking President Trump, (to) give them (a) signal, not (to) attack energy infrastructure of Ukraine.
I thank everyone who helps defend Ukraine and advances clear, fair steps toward peace!
