Volodymyr Zelenskyy

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 was up to Ukrainians to choose one or another leader.

It would generate billions in extra revenue for Putin, enabling him to wage war even more intensely.

It’s clear that Putin does not read Truth Social.

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…

If Russia agrees to a 60-day total ceasefire, I will hold elections.

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.

Ukraine wants peace. The question is whether Russia does.

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!

Ukraine supports such a step, and we have stated that, but now Russia’s response is needed.

Today, there was a statement from the President of the United States that an energy ceasefire has been secured. This is good news for everyone – and it is important that it become reality.

Last night provided yet more confirmation that Russia perceives any easing of pressure as a signal that it can supposedly keep fighting, that it can supposedly keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed.

Today, Russia said thank you for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia.

What is needed is real de-escalation with Russia on a reciprocal basis.

Russia will ‘repay’ the diesel with further terror and perfidy.

Gifts to Putin will not bring peace or any benefit to the civilized world.

Strong signals are needed from the United States, Europe, and other partners – signals in support of Ukraine and to RESTRICT Russia’s ability to wage war and terrorize people.

Unfortunately, the signals Russia received yesterday were entirely different – signals suggesting that it could simply keep attacking. And this needs to be corrected.
