Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he needs more details about peace proposals following President Donald Trump’s call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, warning that “For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian.” 

Zelenskyy announced he plans to speak with Trump Wednesday after the president told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that he spent nearly two hours on the phone Tuesday with Putin. 

“We will discuss the details of the next steps with him,” Zelenskyy said. “For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian. We will not go for it.” 

Zelenskyy added that attacks continue to strike Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, despite U.S. and Russia saying Tuesday that Trump and Putin agreed to a ceasefire against those targets. Russia launched a series of drone strikes that struck civilian areas overnight and damaged a hospital in Ukraine. 

The White House said in a statement following the call that “The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace.  

“These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East,” it added. 

During the call, Putin also said a complete cessation of military aid to Ukraine was a key condition for ending the war, Russia’s state-run TASS news agency reported, citing the Kremlin. 

However, Trump told Fox News “We didn’t talk about aid, actually.” 

“We didn’t talk about aid at all,” he said. “We talked about a lot of things, but aid was never discussed.”
