Zelenskyy Refutes Trump's Proposal for US Ownership of All Ukrainian Nuclear Plants

The Ukrainian president clarified that discussions with Trump focused solely on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia plant, not all four nuclear facilities.

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that his conversation with Donald Trump was limited to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, contradicting Trump's broader proposal for US ownership of all Ukrainian nuclear plants.
• The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, has been under Russian control since 2022 and remains a critical issue in Ukraine's energy and security strategy.
• Trump suggested US ownership of Ukrainian nuclear plants as a security measure, arguing that American expertise could better protect Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
• Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of the Zaporizhzhia plant for Ukraine and Europe, noting it could take over two years to restore its operations if reclaimed.
• Limited agreements to halt attacks on energy infrastructure were reached between Ukraine and Russia, with further negotiations planned in Saudi Arabia.
