HELSINKI — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday that he would be speaking to U.S. President Donald Trump today, following a call between the White House and Kremlin that failed to agree on a full ceasefire in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy was speaking in Helsinki, during a press conference alongside Finnish President Alexander Stubb, during which he noted that Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “words are at odds with reality.”

“I will be contacting President Trump today, we will be discussing the details” of his call with Moscow, Zelenskyy added.

Following the eagerly anticipated Trump-Putin call on Tuesday, a much-hyped ceasefire of energy infrastructure strikes lasted barely an hour, as Russia bombarded Ukraine with drones and Kyiv struck back at an oil depot in the Krasnodar region.

Trump’s war envoy Steve Witkoff announced late Tuesday that new peace talks between American and Russian negotiators would take place this weekend in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
