In a recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two leaders have agreed to a temporary halt on strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities. The White House has confirmed that both parties have agreed to pursue a limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure targets in Ukraine.
According to the Kremlin, the proposal involves Russia and Ukraine ceasing to target each other’s energy infrastructure for a period of 30 days. This agreement marks a crucial step towards a potential ceasefire in the Black Sea region and working towards achieving a lasting peace in the area.
Following the phone call between Trump and Putin, DW’s Nick Connolly in Kyiv reported that Russia has offered limited concessions in the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian Member of Parliament, Kira Rudik, also spoke to DW, stating that Russia’s ultimate goal is to leave Ukraine defenseless and vulnerable.
The next phase of this agreement will involve technical negotiations to implement the ceasefire in the Black Sea and further discussions on achieving a permanent resolution to the conflict.
This development comes as a potential breakthrough in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and offers hope for a peaceful resolution in the region. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
