Market Impact

Event Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described his recent meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump as 'positive,' despite not securing Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine. Trump, after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reneged on the missile possibility, indicating a desire to avoid escalation before his next meeting with Putin. Zelenskyy stated that Trump supports a freeze along the current front line in Ukraine and is actively seeking to end the war. Trump hopes his upcoming meeting with Putin in Hungary will lead to a peace deal, following a failed summit in Alaska. Zelenskyy expressed skepticism about Hungary as a venue and criticized its Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for blocking Ukraine. He also voiced doubts about Putin's proposal to swap territory in Ukraine — Kherson Oblast and Ukraine — Zaporizhzhia for Ukraine's surrender of Ukraine — Donetsk Oblast and Ukraine — Luhansk Oblast. The United States has shown interest in bilateral gas projects with Ukraine, including an LNG terminal in Ukraine — Odesa, as well as nuclear energy and oil initiatives.
