Zelenskyy says Ukraine ready to implement limited energy and infrastructure ceasefire after ‘positive’ and ‘frank’ Trump call – live

Zelenskyy said he accepted US proposal of unconditional ceasefire on frontline in ‘substantive’ conversation with Trump

Opening the press conference, Finland’s Stubb says Europe faces “one of those moments of choices between two different worlds: Yalta or Helsinki; in other words, spheres of influence or equal rights and duties for all states.”

He stresses that Ukraine has “an undeniable right to defend itself on its own and supported by its partner,” a right that “cannot be restricted in any way,” dismissing Russian demands to halt help for Kyiv.

The principles of international law and the European security order have not changed, and there is no need to start changing them.

Independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. These are the principles of the UN Charter and the Helsinki charter.
