Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there is “momentum for peace” in Ukraine after praising US President Donald Trump’s efforts in reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

“This is a global issue, and much has been done personally by the President of the United States and his team. Various other leaders were also involved, they helped a lot,” said Zelenskyy in his nightly video address on Tuesday.

"It shows that Russia, too, can indeed be pressured into ending its aggression. In fact, it is Russia that now remains the main source of global instability – the global source of war.”

Russia has stepped up attacks in recent weeks targeting electricity and gas infrastructure ahead of winter, in an effort to cripple Ukraine’s power grid ahead of freezing temperatures to erode public morale.
