Trump and Putin agree to seek a limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, White House says
NEW YORK (AP) - President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a call on Tuesday to seek a limited ceasefire against energy and infrastructure targets in the Russia-Ukraine war, according to the White House.
The White House described it as the first step in a “movement to peace” it hopes will eventually include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and a full and lasting end to the fighting. The White House said negotiations would “begin immediately” on those steps. It was not immediately clear whether Ukraine is on board with the phased ceasefire plan.
Earlier, the Kremlin has confirmed that US President Donald Trump and the Russian President Vladimir Putin will speak on Tuesday, amid a period of whirlwind diplomacy to end the conflict in Ukraine.
