officials, the White House said both Ukraine and Russia had accepted establish steps for executing an agreement to prohibit strikes versus energy centers of Russia and Ukraine.

authorities.
We have actually passed on all the required details about Russian infractions in the energy sector, Zelensky stated in his everyday night address.He previously called on Washington to enhance sanctions on Russia as a reaction.
I believe we have come to the point of increasing the sanctions impact, because I believethat the Russians are breaking what they have actually assured America.
A minimum of what America has informed us, and publicly, Zelensky said at an interview in Kyiv.
And we very much hope that President [Donald] Trump has all these suitable tools to increase the sanctions pressure on the Russian side.
