Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he had proposed talks in the coming days with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as Washington seeks to restart negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine supported President Donald Trump’s proposed halt to attacks on energy infrastructure, provided Russia also observed it. He said Kyiv had sent Washington proposals for further meetings after Witkoff and Kushner told a Ukrainian delegation last week that a decision allowing Russian diesel exports was intended to draw Moscow back into negotiations, Reuters reported.
Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire effective immediately. Kyiv said it had not been consulted before the announcement, while Moscow did not immediately confirm an agreement.
On Monday, Zelenskyy accused Russia of violating the proposed truce by attacking at least six Ukrainian energy facilities. In Kharkiv, the mayor reported at least 12 injuries in attacks on energy facilities. Russian strikes also hit a Kyiv apartment building, killing one person and injuring 11, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Three civilians were reported killed in Donetsk, and four others were injured in Kramatorsk.
Trump maintained Monday that both sides had agreed, while acknowledging reports of violations and saying he would examine them. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected a pause in fighting and said Moscow would continue its military campaign.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine was prepared to formalize guarantees for an energy truce but would continue long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities unless Moscow stopped attacking Ukrainian energy and critical infrastructure.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Revise to make clear Trump claimed an agreement, Russia rejected a pause, and the casualty reports were not all tied to energy-facility strikes. - "Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire effective immediately.": The sources say Trump announced or claimed that both parties had agreed, not that they actually had agreed. - "while Moscow did not immediately confirm an agreement.": This understates the source record; Al Jazeera says Russia rejected any pause in fighting, and DW says there was no immediate confirmation from Moscow. - "On Monday, Zelenskyy accused Russia of violating the proposed truce by attacking at least six Ukrainian energy facilities. Ukrainian officials reported at least 12 people injured in Kharkiv, while a strike on a Kyiv apartment building killed one person and injured 11. Three civilians were reported killed in Donetsk, and four others were injured in Kramatorsk.": The story implies all listed casualty reports were part of the six energy-facility attacks, but the sources distinguish Kharkiv energy-facility attacks from strikes on civilian sites in Kyiv, Donetsk and Kramatorsk.
