Trilateral
meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, Putin 'can bring breakthrough on path to peace,'
Ukraine's foreign minister says
Ukraine’s
foreign minister Andrii Sybiha has just responded to overnight Russian attacks
on Ukraine, saying they show “how criticial it is to end the killing, achieve a
lasting peace, and ensure robust security guarantees.”
“While
hard work to advance peace was underway in Washington DC., led by Presidents
@ZelenskyyUA and @POTUS, with the participation of European and Nato leaders,
Moscow continued to do the opposite of peace: more strikes and destruction.”
He also
confirmed earlier reports that “there has been damage to the energy
infrastructure and injured civilians” (9:41).
Ending on
a hopeful note, he said:
“The
future meeting of leaders of Ukraine, the US, and Russia can bring a
breakthrough on the path to peace. We are grateful to the United States and
President Trump for the peacemaking.”

'Putin
does not want peace,' Ukrainian mayor says after another night of attacks
Russia
attacked the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk with drones overnight, the
city mayor said in comments reported by Reuters, calling it a sign that Russian
president Vladimir Putin does not want peace.
“At the
very same time when Putin was assuring Trump over the phone that he seeks
peace, and when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was holding talks at the White
House with European leaders about a just peace, Putin’s army launched yet
another massive attack on Kremenchuk,” Vitalii Maletskyi, mayor of the city
that lies in the Poltava region, said on the Telegram.
“Once
again, the world has seen that Putin does not want peace – he wants to destroy
Ukraine,” he said.
Reuters
added that Maletskyi said scores of blasts shook the city, targeting energy and
transport infrastructure, leaving hundreds of people in the Poltava region
without power.
Poltava
governor Volodymyr Kohut said that the attack damaged administrative buildings
of a local energy infrastructure operation.
“Fortunately,
there were no casualties,” Kohut said on Telegram. He said that in the Lubny
district nearly 1,500 residential and 119 commercial customers were left
without power.
