One of the first steps towards a complete cessation of the war may be the cessation of strikes on energy and other civilian infrastructure. I supported this step, and Ukraine confirmed that we are ready to implement it. Our teams discussed this step in Jeddah. The American side also proposed an unconditional ceasefire on the front line, and Ukraine also accepted this proposal. We will continue to work to make this happen. We believe that such steps are necessary to create opportunities for the preparation of a comprehensive peace agreement during the ceasefire.
I also provided an update on the situation on the battlefield and the consequences of Russian strikes. We talked about the situation in the Kursk region, touched upon the issue of the release of prisoners of war and the return of Ukrainian children who were captured by Russian troops. We also discussed the state of Ukraine's air defense and the possibility of strengthening it to protect lives.
We have instructed our teams to resolve technical issues related to the implementation and expansion of the partial ceasefire. Ukrainian and American teams are ready to meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to continue coordinating steps to achieve peace. We have instructed our advisers and representatives to carry out this work as soon as possible. We noted the positive work of our advisers and representatives — Rubio, Waltz, Kellogg, Ermak, Sibiga, Umerov and Palisa. At further meetings, the teams can agree on all necessary aspects of moving towards lasting peace and security guarantees.
I thanked President Trump and the American people for their support. I stressed that Ukrainians want peace, so Ukraine accepted the proposal for an unconditional cease-fire. I stressed the importance of the concept of peace through the power of President Trump. We have agreed to maintain constant contact, including at the highest level and through our teams," Zelensky writes.
