Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the U.S. aims to end the war between Ukraine and Russia by June and has invited both countries to meet for talks in Miami next week. This follows U.S.-brokered peace talks in Abu Dhabi that ended without a breakthrough, with Zelensky noting that territorial concessions remain a difficult issue. He also mentioned the possibility of a trilateral meeting between leaders. Zelensky believes the U.S. timeline is influenced by its domestic issues, including the upcoming November midterm elections. Meanwhile, Russia continues to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure, causing widespread blackouts and prompting Ukraine to request emergency power supplies from Poland.
