Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an incremental and temporary ceasefire during a marathon phone call with President Donald Trump, which included the possibility of a peace deal in the overseas conflict.
Trump and Putin began their phone call at 10:00 a.m. and it lasted at least an hour and a half before the White House signaled to reporters that the conversation was over. The White House released a summary of the call, writing that the two world leaders “agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.”
“This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace,” the White House readout reads. “These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East.”
