On the 1445th day of the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the United States is encouraging Ukraine and Russia to negotiate peace before the summer. This statement highlights the increasing pressure on both countries to find a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict, particularly given the escalating violence and significant casualties involved.

Zelensky also mentioned recent developments in the conflict, including an airstrike on a chemical plant in Russia’s Tver region, which produces rocket fuel components. Furthermore, there have been reports of attacks on oil depots in Saratov region and extensive Russian assaults on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. These military actions underscore the ongoing hostilities and the challenges both nations face in reaching an agreement amid continued aggression.

In addition to military developments, Zelensky indicated discussions are taking place among the USA and Ukraine regarding potential peace deal timelines. However, Russia has outright rejected a proposal regarding the transfer of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The involvement of international players such as the OSCE, who have recently visited Moscow for discussions, adds another layer to the complex geopolitical landscape as efforts continue to address the crisis in Ukraine.
