Trump talks with Putin – level 1

21-03-2025 15:00

Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy wants to stop fighting with Russia for a short time but needs more information. He will stop attacks on Russia’s energy places if Russia stops too.

He says this after a talk between US President Trump and Russia’s President Putin. But Russia still attacks Ukraine after the talk. Zelenskyy thinks that Russia wants to make the war last longer. Putin says that he will not stop fighting if the West helps Ukraine. Trump says that Putin does not ask for this.

Russia will not attack Ukraine’s power stations for 30 days, but the situation in other places is still dangerous. People in Ukraine do not believe Russia. More talks will happen soon.

Difficult words: power station (a place which produces electricity), dangerous (not safe).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What condition is attached to halting attacks on energy places, and how do the statements made by Putin and Trump differ regarding demands and involvement in the conflict?
