Zelenskyy called on the United States to support a mutual cessation of strikes on energy infrastructure. He is asking the United States to provide Ukraine with interceptor missiles to protect facilities.
Ukraine has always had important, strong strategic relations with the United States of America. But the relationship was built on honesty, fairness, and transparency. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in an interview with Corriere della Sera, reports UNN.

According to him, the United States and Ukraine have more in common than America does with Russia. He emphasized that Ukraine supports a mutual cessation of attacks on energy infrastructure.
If we are saying that we should not respond against energy facilities in the Russian Federation after they strike our gas, electricity, and oil - everything. The Russians are striking. America cannot stop them. Let us believe that America really wants to, but cannot. Then, as a partner, I am meeting President Trump halfway: if they strike us, we cannot respond to them; this is dishonest and unfair, but if this is what you need, and you cannot rein Putin in, then give us anti-missiles so that I can protect the energy sector. You were unable to stop Putin - help Ukraine
