Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a bold appeal to former U.S. President Donald Trump during a Saturday phone call, urging him to replicate his Middle East ceasefire efforts in Ukraine. 'If a war can be stopped in one region, others can be stopped too,' Zelenskyy declared on Facebook, praising Trump's 'outstanding' recent peace moves between Israel and Hamas. 🌍⚡

The plea followed a massive Russian attack on Ukraine's energy grid Friday, which left parts of Odesa in darkness. Kyiv claims Moscow is targeting civilian infrastructure to weaken morale, while Russia insists it's disabling military-linked facilities. At least five Ukrainians died in Saturday's strikes, officials said.
Diplomatic Freeze Thaws?
With global attention diverted by the Israel-Hamas conflict, Zelenskyy hopes Trump's August meeting with Putin—though fruitless—could reignite negotiations. 'Pressure the Kremlin,' he urged, as both sides trade blame for stalled talks. Meanwhile, cross-border drone attacks killed two in Russia, escalating tensions. 🕵️♂️
