Zelenskyj not open to selling nuclear power to the US
Volodymyr Zelenskyj says that the Ukrainian nuclear power plants belong to the Ukrainian people and that he is not open to handing them over to the US. This is reported by AFP.
The move comes the day after Donald Trump suggested in a conversation with the Ukrainian president that the United States could take over ownership of Europe's largest nuclear power plant, located in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.
Zelensky says he cannot currently make a decision about the nuclear power plant as it is occupied by Russia.
- Whether they want to take it back from the Russians, whether they want to modernize it and invest. That is another question, an open question, and we can talk about it, he says.

Putin in closed oligarch meeting: “No peace expected in the near future”
Vladimir Putin has told a gathering of Russian oligarchs that they should not expect a quick and peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine in the near future. This is stated by several people who participated in the meeting to Russian media according to the independent Moscow Times.
– I will put it this way: The president advised us not to be naive and to understand how many people and interests are involved in the processes that are currently underway, says an anonymous meeting participant.
Several other sources who were at the meeting give a similar picture of Putin's message.
The meeting between Putin and the oligarchs took place behind closed doors on Tuesday, shortly before Putin and Donald Trump's phone call in which Putin agreed to a 30-day ceasefire against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

The world's response
Zelensky appeals for billions for ammunition
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is asking allied EU countries for at least five billion euros as quickly as possible to be able to produce artillery ammunition, Reuters reports.
Zelensky, who is currently in Norway, spoke to the EU via video link. During the speech, he took a dig at Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has opposed EU support for Ukraine.
– It is anti-European for one person to block decisions that are important for an entire continent, he says.
He also expresses a need for Europe to have “technological independence” and be able to produce its own weapons.
