Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski held an important meeting with US President Donald Trump. This meeting took place immediately after Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Zelenski described the meeting as "very positive and productive" and requested Trump to mediate for peace in Ukraine. This indicates both leaders' efforts to end the war.

Trump had previously met with Russian President Putin but failed to reach a peace agreement. In recent months, Trump has adopted a tougher stance against Moscow.

Zelenski stated that Russia has intensified its attacks and that these actions should be considered war crimes. Both sides blame each other for the deadlock in peace negotiations.

Zelenski also mentioned that they discussed strengthening Ukraine's air defense during their meeting with Trump. These discussions are expected to further strengthen relations between the two countries.
