- The Trump administration is pushing for three immediate steps to de-escalate the war in Ukraine and restart diplomacy with Russia, according to Zelensky's Wednesday interview with Axios.
- Zelensky outlined the steps, naming a ceasefire on energy infrastructure and the reopening of the Black Sea grain corridor among them.
Why it matters: An energy infrastructure ceasefire would shield Ukraine's power grid from Russian strikes, while reopening the Black Sea grain corridor would restore a key wartime export route. Pulling Russia into direct U.S.–Ukraine talks signals a diplomatic reopening after months of stalled negotiations.
