Russia’s President Vladimir Putin agrees to halt strikes on Ukraine energy targets for 30 days, the Kremlin says, after a 90-minute-phone call with President Donald Trump.
Vladimir Putin supports Donald Trump’s idea for Ukraine and Russia to stop attacking energy infrastructure for 30 days, the Kremlin says in its read out of the leaders’ call.
Russia has repeatedly damaged Ukraine’s energy grid since its invasion in February 2022.
Fresh Ukraine peace talks will also begin in the Middle East immediately, the White House says.
After the call, the White House said: “The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.”
The Kremlin says the two presidents had a “frank exchange of opinions” and agreed to stay in touch.
