Trump and Putin Agree to Energy Infrastructure Ceasefire Amid Ukraine Conflict Negotiations

President Trump and Russian President Putin have agreed to a temporary halt on attacks targeting energy and infrastructure in Ukraine. This agreement came after a lengthy phone call between the two leaders, during which they discussed a broader ceasefire arrangement to end the three-year conflict. The White House stated that the pause on energy targets will be implemented while technical teams begin negotiations on a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, a full ceasefire, and permanent peace. The Kremlin confirmed Putin's positive response to Trump's proposal for a 30-day cessation of attacks on energy infrastructure and that he immediately issued the corresponding order to the Russian military. Both leaders also expressed a desire to improve bilateral relations between the United States and Russia, envisioning potential economic deals and geopolitical stability upon achieving peace. Technical negotiations are set to begin immediately in the Middle East.
