Moscow and Kiev accused each other Wednesday of launching air strikes that damaged the infrastructure only hours after their leaders agreed in principle to a limited ceasefire to stop attacks on energy infrastructure.
Zelenskiy, at a joint conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Alexander Stubbb, said Putin's words were not enough and that Ukraine would secure a list of energy objects hoping the US and allies would help monitor.
I really want to have control. But I believe the chief agent of this raid must be the United States of America,” he said, adding that Kiev would be ready to engage in a ceasefire.
If the Russians don't hit our objects, then certainly we won't hit their”, Zelenskiy said, broadcast Periscope.
On the phone, Putin agreed to temporarily stop attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities, but refused to approve a 30-day full 30-day ceasefire Trump hoped would be the first step towards a permanent peace agreement.
Zelenskiy said the attack, which the Air Force said included 145 fears, showed Putin's “words are very different from reality” and called for sustainable Western military assistance to Ukraine.
