Overview

  • Zelenskyy clarified that his talks with Trump addressed only the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, rejecting claims of discussions about all four Ukrainian nuclear facilities.
  • The Zaporizhzhia plant, seized by Russia in 2022, remains a critical issue for Ukraine's energy security and European power grid integration.
  • The US government, through officials Rubio and Waltz, stated that Trump proposed US control of all Ukrainian nuclear plants as a security measure, causing confusion.
  • Zelenskyy emphasized the Zaporizhzhia plant's importance for Ukraine and Europe and explored potential US assistance in reclaiming it from Russian control.
  • Ukraine has received additional F-16 jets, while Putin conditionally agreed to suspend energy infrastructure attacks if Ukraine reciprocates, rejecting a full ceasefire.
