伦敦-乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基指责俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京“延长战争”并“无视”美国领导的同意停火的努力，这是结束俄罗斯对其邻国长达三年的入侵的第一步。
最近几周，基辅和莫斯科相互指责对方是和平的主要障碍，在白宫敦促结束冲突之际，他们试图赢得唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持。
泽连斯基周六报道称，俄罗斯军队在乌克兰东部苏梅地区边境集结。“这表明有攻击的意图，”泽连斯基说。“我们意识到了这一点，并将予以反击。我希望所有的伙伴都确切地了解普京在计划什么，他在准备什么，他将忽略什么。”
“俄罗斯军队的集结表明，莫斯科打算继续忽视外交，”这位乌克兰领导人在社交媒体上写道。“很明显，俄罗斯正在延长战争。我们准备向我们的伙伴提供前线、库尔斯克地区和我们边境沿线局势的所有真实信息。”
尽管美国推动和平，激烈的战斗和远程打击仍在继续。乌克兰空军表示，俄罗斯在周六晚上向该国发射了90架无人攻击机。空军称，47架被击落，33架在飞行中失踪。“切尔尼戈夫、基辅、哈尔科夫和敖德萨地区受到了俄罗斯袭击的影响，”它补充说。
与此同时，俄罗斯国防部表示，其部队在俄罗斯四个地区击落了31架乌克兰无人机。
上周，乌克兰和美国谈判代表同意停火30天。莫斯科没有做出承诺，普京表示他“支持”该协议，但提出了实施该协议的附加条件。
在俄罗斯西部的库尔斯克地区，乌克兰军队在2024年8月的一次意外进攻中占领了土地，莫斯科正在寻求切断和摧毁基辅的军队。俄罗斯官员表示，在库尔斯克被夺回之前，不可能达成和平协议。
边境地区的战斗促使特朗普警告“一场可怕的屠杀”，并补充说，他已经要求普京放过仍在那里战斗的乌克兰士兵的生命。
泽连斯基、他的官员和指挥官否认了乌克兰军队被切断的说法。
“我们的部队继续在库尔斯克地区阻止俄罗斯和朝鲜的武装，”泽连斯基周六在社交媒体上写道。“我军没有被包围。”
特朗普上周吹捧美国和俄罗斯之间“非常好和富有成效”的讨论，为此，中东特使史蒂夫·维特科夫前往莫斯科并会见了普京。特朗普说，“这场可怕的血腥战争很有可能最终结束。”
据美国国务院公布的消息，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥(John Kerry)周六与俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫(Sergei Lavrov)通了电话。声明称，两位官员“讨论了最近在沙特阿拉伯会晤的后续步骤，并同意继续努力恢复美国和俄罗斯之间的沟通”。
目前尚不清楚俄罗斯是否愿意降低其长期坚持的最大化战争目标。特朗普威胁说，如果克里姆林宫没有表现出寻求和平协议的意愿，他将对俄罗斯实施新的制裁和关税。
普京的高级外交政策助理尤里·乌沙科夫(Yuri Ushakov)在周日播出的国家电视台采访中表示，莫斯科认为拟议的30天停火是“试图让正在忍受艰难时刻的乌克兰军队休息一下。”
“俄罗斯军队在所有战线上都处于进攻状态，”乌沙科夫在评论中说，这些评论似乎是周四维特科夫在莫斯科时录制的。“在这种情况下，我们可以把它视为一种尝试，让乌克兰军队有时间重新武装和重组。”
与此同时，乌克兰似乎在一定程度上修复了与白宫的关系，此前一个月的紧张局势在美国短暂冻结军事援助和情报共享后达到高潮。
尽管如此，泽连斯基一再强调美国支持的持久西方安全保障的必要性——特朗普政府迄今一直回避这一承诺。
泽连斯基周六在社交媒体上写道:“在美国方面的支持下，欧洲特遣队在实地的存在将使和平更加可靠。”。
克里姆林宫拒绝了这一提议，泽连斯基建议忽略这一立场。
“听取俄罗斯人对特遣队的意见也是一个非常糟糕的信号，”总统写道。“特遣队应该驻扎在乌克兰领土上。这是乌克兰和欧洲的安全保障。”
“如果普京想把一些外国特遣队引入俄罗斯领土，那是他的事，”他补充道。“但他无权决定乌克兰和欧洲的安全问题。”
Putin 'prolonging' Ukraine war, Zelenskyy says after Trump peace appeal
LONDON --Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "prolonging the war" and "ignoring" U.S.-led efforts to agree to a ceasefire, as a first step toward ending Moscow's three-year-old invasion of its neighbor.
Recent weeks have seen Kyiv and Moscow frame each other as the main impediment to peace, maneuvering to win backing from President Donald Trump as the White House presses for an end to the conflict.
Zelenskyy on Saturday reported a massing of Russian troops along the border with Ukraine's eastern Sumy region. "This indicates an intention to attack," Zelenskyy said. "We are aware of this, and will counter it. I would like all partners to understand exactly what Putin is planning, what he is preparing for and what he will be ignoring."
"The buildup of Russian forces indicates that Moscow intends to keep ignoring diplomacy," the Ukrainian leader wrote on social media. "It is clear that Russia is prolonging the war. We are ready to provide our partners with all the real information on the situation at the front, in the Kursk region and along our border."
Fierce fighting and long-range strikes continued despite the U.S. peace push. Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 90 attack drones into the country on Saturday night. Forty-seven were shot down with 33 lost in flight, the air force said. "The Chernihiv, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odessa regions were affected by the Russian attack," it added.
Russia's Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said its forces shot down 31 Ukrainian drones over four Russian regions.
Last week, Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. Moscow was non-committal, Putin saying he was "for" the agreement but setting out additional conditions for its implementation.
In Russia's western Kursk region -- where Ukrainian forces seized ground in a surprise August 2024 offensive -- Moscow is seeking to cut off and destroy Kyiv's troops. Russian officials have said no peace deal is possible until Kursk is recaptured.
The fighting in the border region prompted Trump to warn of "a horrible massacre," adding he had asked Putin to spare the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers still fighting there.
Zelenskyy, his officials and commanders denied the suggestion that Ukrainian troops were cut off.
"Our troops continue to hold back Russian and North Korean groupings in the Kursk region," Zelenskyy wrote on social media on Saturday. "There is no encirclement of our troops."
Trump last week touted "very good and productive" discussions between the U.S. and Russia, for which Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to Moscow and met with Putin. There is, Trump said, a "very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke by phone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday, according to a State Department readout. The two officials "discussed next steps to follow up on recent meetings in Saudi Arabia and agreed to continue working towards restoring communication between the United States and Russia," the statement said.
It remains unclear whether Russia is willing to downgrade its long-held maximalist war goals. Trump has threatened to impose new sanctions and tariffs on Moscow if the Kremlin does not show a willingness to pursue a peace deal.
Yuri Ushakov, a senior foreign policy aide to Putin, said in an interview with state television aired on Sunday that Moscow views the proposed 30-day ceasefire an "an attempt to give a break to Ukrainian troops who are now enduring difficult times."
"Russian troops are on the offensive on all fronts," Ushakov said in comments that appear to have been recorded on Thursday when Witkoff was in Moscow. "And in this situation, we can view it as a sort of attempt to give time to Ukrainian troops time to rearm and regroup."
Ukraine, meanwhile, appears to have somewhat repaired ties with the White House after a month of tensions culminated in a brief U.S. freeze on military aid and intelligence sharing.
Still, Zelenskyy has repeatedly stressed the need for lasting Western security guarantees backed by the U.S. -- a commitment the Trump administration has so far dodged.
"Peace will be more reliable with the presence of European contingents on the ground, supported by the American side," Zelenskyy wrote on social media on Saturday.
The Kremlin has dismissed the proposal, a stance Zelenskyy suggested should be ignored.
"It is also a very bad signal to listen to the opinion of the Russians regarding the contingent," the president wrote. "The contingent should be stationed on Ukrainian soil. This is a guarantee of security for Ukraine and for Europe."
"If Putin wants to introduce some foreign contingent into the territory of Russia, that is his business," he added. "But it is not his business to decide something about the security of Ukraine and Europe."
