Ukraine is ready to agree to this.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"1033\"> &#8220;There is a proposal on the table now: a ceasefire on energy. We are ready,&#8221; Zelensky said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1247\"> The president also said that during a conversation with Donald Trump, he advocated a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia. One of the first results of such talks could be an end to attacks on the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1394\"> At the same time, the US is proposing to start not with a meeting of leaders, but with negotiations between technical teams from the three countries. Abu Dhabi has been mentioned as one of the possible locations.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1485\"> Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is ready for various options for holding such negotiations.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1557\"> &#8220;We are open &#8211; any country, any format,&#8221; the president said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1681\"> According to him, the very meeting of representatives of Ukraine, the US, and Russia at one table could be a step towards de-escalation.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that earlier Donald Trump had already <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/tse-ne-pov-iazano-z-blyzkym-skhodom-tramp-zvynuvatyv-ukrainu-v-defitsyti-dyzelia-cherez-udary-po-rosiyskym-npz\/\">called on Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian refineries<\/a> , linking them to problems in the global diesel fuel market.<\/p>\n<p> Before that, Zelensky <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/zustrich-zelenskoho-i-trampa-prezydent-nazvav-oriientovni-terminy-ta-holovnu-temu\/\">spoke about the expected meeting with Trump<\/a> on September 20th and stated that he planned to raise the issue of countering the Russian ballistic threat.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, Trump recently <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/pekelni-sanktsii-proty-rosii-tramp-pidpysav-zakon-hrema\/\">signed a law on sanctions against Russia and Iran<\/a> , which, in particular, allows for the imposition of tariffs on countries that purchase Russian oil and gas.<\/p>\n<div class=\"full-post__content font-rules\">\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US has proposed three steps for de-escalation between Ukraine and Russia.
