Washington is profiling the basic points that will be treated in the next telephone conversation between Trump and Putin. Russia has conditioned its commitment to the high fire of 30 days to several demands that will be discussed today. The president of the United States … He has recently mentioned that: «There is a power plant involved, a very large power plant involved. Who will receive the central, and who will receive this and that? So, as you know, it is not an easy process. But the first phase is the high fire ».
The Ukrainian leader already confirmed in mid -February that he had discussed with his United States counterpart the issue of the atomic plant. Zelenski also mentioned at the beginning of last month that the unemployment of the Energodar Central (Zaporiyia) will “address during the first diplomatic meeting between the parties” referring to Moscow.
The Zaporiyia nuclear power plant is the largest in the entire European continent. Today it does not produce electricity when located in the front line. Ukraine has accused Russia on several occasions to launch deliberate attacks against this energy infrastructure. The country invaded by Russia has three other nuclear centrals in the areas under kyiv control that add up to 15 reactors. The importance of nuclear energy generation is capital due to the numerous Russian attacks against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
The kyiv Economy School states that damage to the Ukraine energy sector already has a cost of 14.6 billion dollars. During the three years that the Russian Invasion has lasted on a large scale, Russia has destroyed the hydroelectric plants of Kakhovka and Dnipro, the thermal plants of Trypillia and Zmiiv. In addition, there are damage that affects “a significant part of the main energy generation facilities, as well as high voltage substations and key infrastructure for the oil and gas sector.”
Keep the red lines
Steve Witkoff, special envoy from Trump for the Middle East, advanced yesterday in an interview with CBS that the high fire will require approaching not only on the subject of the Zaporiyia Central, also access to Ukrainian ports. And among other issues will also be addressed “regions in which we all know that the Russians have a look set.”

For its part, Ukraine continues to maintain its conditions. Ukraine Foreign Minister, Andréi Sybihahe has recalciled the “red lines of kyiv” in an interview with the Ukrainian medium RBC. Although he preferred to refer to them as “fundamental things that cannot be touched.” Among them is the non -recognition of the occupied Ukrainian territory as part of Russia and the refusal to impose cuts to the size of the Ukrainian army or restrictions on the defensive capacity of Ukraine are applied. In addition, Sybiha argues, no country can veto Ukraine’s decision to integrate into organizations such as the European Union or NATO.
