The United States wants Moscow and Kyiv to find a solution on how to end the war in Ukraine before summer, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Zelenskyy also criticized Russia over an overnight ‍attack on Ukrainian ⁠energy facilities, saying in comments posted on X that Moscow must be deprived of the ability to ‍use the cold winter weather as leverage against Kyiv.
