On Tuesday, United States President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a call to work towards a 30-day limited ceasefire focusing on energy and infrastructure in the Russia-Ukraine war, said the White House.
The White House called it a first step towards peace, focusing for a Black Sea maritime ceasefire and a lasting end to the conflict. It said, “Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace”.
It further added, “The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people.”
The White House stated that the discussions on these measures would begin immediately in the Middle East. However, Ukraine’s stance on the proposed phased ceasefire remained unclear.
