Zelenskyy says Putin's 'words' aren't enough as he speaks with Trump on energy ceasefire

[noumoe]

Trump, in a social media post, said his call with Zelenskyy lasted an hour and was "very good."

Zelenskyy also found the conversation "good" and "very productive," according to a source in the Office of the Ukrainian President.

The Ukrainian president also agreed to set up a new meeting for the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations as soon as possible. Both sides will start working on this now, the source told ABC News.

At a news conference with Finnish President Alexander Stubb Wednesday, Zelenskyy said just Putin's "words" are not enough to secure an agreement that both Ukraine and Russia will stop hitting energy infrastructure.

Zelenskyy said he is preparing a list that Ukraine will share "to our partners" on what facilities and targets will be off-limits to attack in a potential agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

"If the Russians do not strike our facilities, we will certainly not strike theirs," Zelenskyy said.

"Just assurances and only Putin's words that he orders not to strike energy facilities—that is not enough. Why? Because, unfortunately, this war has made us very practical people," Zelenskyy said.
