1:04Now PlayingVladimir Putin committed in a phone call with Donald Trump to limit Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure for 30 days but declined to accept the broader ceasefire that the US sought.
The Russian and US presidents agreed that the two sides would begin negotiations on a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea as well as a “full ceasefire and permanent peace,” the White House said in a statement after the call ended. Those talks will begin “immediately” in the Middle East, the White House said, without saying who would lead the negotiations.
The Kremlin’s account of the call said Putin imposed several conditions for a lasting ceasefire, including the suspension of arms and intelligence support for Ukraine. Ukraine must also stop mobilizing new recruits, it said.
The Russian position falls well short of the Trump administration’s demand for a total halt to the fighting for 30 days so the sides can hammer out a longer-term agreement. Russia’s conditions didn’t even go as far as a Ukrainian offer earlier this month to halt air and sea attacks, a proposal that the US rejected as insufficient.
