00:00President Volodymyr Zelensky warned against the Russian government proposal to stop military
00:05funding for his nation.
00:07President Zelensky also announced that he will speak with the United States President
00:11Donald Trump later within a few hours.
00:14This is after Russian leader Vladimir Putin issued a demand during a call with President
00:18Trump on Tuesday.
00:20They talked about the peace effort by Washington to try to negotiate a full ceasefire more
00:25than three years after Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:28President Zelensky said that more help would show that Ukraine is ready for any surprises
00:33from the Russians.
00:34The call between President Trump and Putin did not lead to the major peace that Ukraine
00:38has been asking for, even though Kyiv supported the U.S.-led proposal last week.
00:44However, the Kremlin agreed to stop Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy assets.
00:48As of now, President Zelensky hoped to get more information during a call later with
00:53President Trump.
00:54Earlier, Ukraine accused Russia of rejecting a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal after an
01:00overnight barrage of Russian drone and missile strikes in Ukraine.
