Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated during a press conference with President Zelenskyy that Russia must prove it wants peace and that pressure should be applied to ensure its participation in negotiations.

Ukraine to Provide Partners with a List of Critical Infrastructure for Ceasefire Proposal – Zelenskyy.
Ukraine will prepare and submit to its partners a list of energy, infrastructure, and civilian facilities that Russia must stop targeting, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced. If Russia ceases its attacks on these sites, Ukraine will also refrain from striking the aggressor state’s energy sector.
“Simply having Putin’s verbal assurances that he has ordered a halt to attacks on energy facilities is not enough. Why? Because this war has made us very pragmatic people,” Zelenskyy stated.
He also confirmed that at the upcoming meeting in Saudi Arabia, which will discuss a partial ceasefire, Ukraine will be represented by military officials, energy experts, and specialists in port and civilian infrastructure.
“This is a technical-level discussion rather than the kind of diplomatic meeting we had before,” he emphasized.
