Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview that Ukraine is ready to establish an energy cease-fire with Russia. “We are willing to start with any kind of downgrade measure,” he said. Zelensky said Ukraine was asking US President Donald Trump to signal Russia not to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure, adding that it would be a “fair deal.” When asked about Trump's statement that Ukrainians should choose another president, Zelensky said that choosing this or that leader should be decided by Ukraine itself.
