The Ukrainian President announced this during a joint press conference with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrinform reports.

"Today, I will have contact with President Trump. We will discuss the details of the next steps. Our teams had a good meeting in Jeddah. I believe everything was moving in the right direction — except for Russia, which is never satisfied when things go right," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian leader also emphasized that in this war, Russia is the aggressor that attacked Ukraine.

As reported by Ukrinform, on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The call lasted over an hour and a half.

Trump's administration stated that the Russian side agreed to a limited ceasefire targeting energy and infrastructure facilities in Ukraine as part of a U.S.-proposed initiative to establish peace in Ukraine.

According to Steve Witkoff, the U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, delegations from the U.S. and Russia will hold a new round of ceasefire negotiations regarding the Russia-Ukraine war on Sunday, March 23, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
