Russian Attacks on Ukraine and Ukraine's Response to Trump's Call for Ceasefire":"Zelenskyy reported that Russia used a variety of weapons, including jet-powered drones, loitering munitions, and ballistic missiles. He also mentioned that Ukraine halted strikes on Russian oil refineries for two days after Trump's ceasefire announcement, but Russia did not heed the call. This highlights the ongoing tension and lack of progress in the ceasefire negotiations.","

Impact of Russian Attacks on Ukraine":"The attacks resulted in the destruction of an ordinary residential building in Kharkiv, killing four people and injuring 41 others. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of early warnings for such attacks, as they can save lives. The attacks also targeted civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, causing further damage.","

Ukraine's Position on De-escalation":"Ukraine remains committed to de-escalation and effective pressure on Russia. Zelenskyy stated that direct or indirect support for Russia, slowing down assistance to Ukraine, and making it harder to protect lives against ballistic missiles will not help bring peace. He emphasized the need for a strong America, Europe, and strong partners to contribute to bringing peace closer."}
