"Zelensky’s call with Trump marked the first official direct contact between the two leaders since a dramatic confrontation in the Oval Office late last month, after which the Ukrainian President and his team quickly left the White House.
First. The phone call was in stark contrast to the not-so-successful meeting between Zelensky and Trump in the Oval Office on February 28. The Ukrainian president called the conversation “the most substantive in recent times” and suggested that it could have lasted even longer if the leaders had not had other things to do.Trump also positively assessed the conversation, calling it “very good”.
Second. The American side will continue defense-related intelligence sharing with the Ukrainian side, even despite the fact that Putin demanded that Trump end such support for Ukraine. Moreover, Putin demanded a "complete cessation of foreign military aid" to Kyiv. However, it seems that this "wish" of his will also remain unanswered.
Third. In a conversation with Trump, Zelensky agreed to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities. But he emphasized that in the event of a violation of the agreement by the enemy,
Fourth. The telephone conversation between Trump and Zelensky touched on the repatriation of the Ukrainian children who were illegally deported to the Russian Federation. Trump promised to work closely with both warring parties to help these children return home, as per a statement from the White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.
Fifth and finally. Regarding the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which is currently under Russian occupation. The President of Ukraine confirmed that the possibility of US participation in the restoration of the plant was discussed. At the same time, slightly different interpretations are coming from the US - in particular, with respect to the possibility of the United States taking control of this nuclear power plant. It is not yet clear what exactly is being discussed, but the issue is being actively elaborated at the expert level." Ukrin

"The Ukraine war has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives, but Germany’s top intelligence chief is predicting far more carnage, and Ukraine’s opposition is reacting with outrage.Bruno Kahl, the head of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) made the comments in an interview, saying:
“If a war in Ukraine comes to a standstill earlier than (2029 or 2030), then all the means (of Russia) – both the technical and the material – are able much earlier to provide a threat against Europe.”
In Ukraine, this portion of the interview has been met with sharp backlash.
German newspaper Berliner Zeitung now asks:
“Will the war be waged on the backs of the Ukraine?”
Perhaps a ridiculous question concerning it has already been waged on their backs for the last three years.
The paper further writes:
“In Ukraine, that passage is causing excitement. The reading in Kyiv: The German intelligence chief publicly declares that the Ukraine war should not end before 2029. Otherwise, Russia could use its resources faster to pose a threat to Europe.” ZeroHedge
