By Felo News Desk · Published
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that Russia's war "must be brought to an end" and that Kyiv is preparing "next steps" of diplomacy to end the conflict. He added that communication with Washington is "virtually nonstop," despite recent tensions with former President Donald Trump.
What happened
Zelenskyy posted on Sunday that he spoke with two members of the US delegation, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, describing the dialogue as continuous. He said the outcome of recent talks in Florida and future steps depend heavily on the US position. The president also thanked the United States for resuming intelligence sharing after a three‑day pause that left Ukraine vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks.
What the reports add
Al Jazeera noted that the pause in intelligence sharing meant Ukraine did not receive alerts during three days of Russian missile strikes, and that the US later "deblocked" the information. The outlet also reported that Kyiv has experienced limits on the speed of the Starshield satellite service, a military‑grade version of SpaceX’s Starlink, though details were cut off in the article.
What was said
"A lot depends on the US position, but it’s clear there are many things that matter to all of us," Zelenskyy wrote on X, as reported by Al Jazeera. He told NBC that only the United States has the unique capability to inform Ukraine when Russia launches ballistic missiles, adding, "It was blocked for some period of time. And then it was deblocked by the American side."
How it came about
The statements follow a recent diplomatic fallout with Trump, who waived expected sanctions on Russia’s energy sector and called renewed Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure "a disgrace." Zelenskyy's remarks echo earlier Felo coverage of Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts, including calls for sustained economic pressure on Russia and conditions for halting energy attacks.
