Donald Trump announced on 11 October that both sides had agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire. Zelensky said Ukraine would accept it if Russia does.
After Donald Trump said it was time for Ukraine to get a new president, Zelensky said he would organise elections if Vladimir Putin agreed to 60 days of total ceasefire.
Zelensky rejected US pressure for a unilateral halt on refinery strikes, saying Kyiv would stop only if Moscow stops hitting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
