Ukraine supports all reliable formats for a ceasefire and an end to the war, and is ready to refrain from striking Russian energy infrastructure, a Ukrainian official stated. Ukraine expects Russia to reciprocate this readiness and hopes for an agreement based on statements made by the U.S. President.

The official expressed hope that Russian President Putin would offer something other than "killings and deceit" to achieve a "real and dignified peace." Ukraine has proposed de-escalation steps, but Putin has consistently rejected them. Ukraine is awaiting details of U.S. dialogue with Russia and expects Putin to fulfill commitments mentioned by President Trump.
