And I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week, and he agreed to do that,” Trump told a cabinet meeting at the White House. Trump said Russian missile and drone attacks had worsened humanitarian conditions as freezing temperatures spread across Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned on Wednesday of renewed Russian attacks on energy facilities. Trump said there had been “a lot of progress” in US-brokered talks between Kyiv and Moscow aimed at ending the war, now nearing its fifth year. Russian attacks killed six people in central and southern Ukraine on Thursday, regional authorities and emergency services said.
