During their conversation on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin concurred on pursuing a restricted cease-fire targeting energy and infrastructure sites within Russia’s ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as stated by both the White House and the Kremlin.

Following the extensive telephone conversation, both parties issued written statements soon afterwards. The White House characterized this exchange as the initial move toward a "path to peace." They expressed hope for an eventual extension of this truce to encompass a maritime cease-fire in the Black Sea along with achieving comprehensive and enduring cessation of hostilities.

The White House stated that talks would "start right away" regarding these measures. However, it wasn’t immediately evident if Ukraine supports the staged truce proposal. U.S. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted details of the discussion on X.

Putin urged Trump to terminate foreign military and intelligence support for Ukraine as the U.S. aims to conclude Russia’s assault on Ukraine, the Kremlin stated.

The Kremlin’s announcement encompassed an extensive array of stipulations and requirements set forth by Putin, with one primary condition being the total halt of all foreign military assistance and intelligence provision to Ukraine. This demand purportedly aims at averting any additional intensification of the confrontation, now extending into its fourth consecutive year.

The telephone exchange between Trump and Putin extended beyond sixty minutes, with a representative from the White House commenting that the discussion was progressing favorably throughout their talk.

The US president stated on Sunday that "a number of aspects of a final deal have been settled, yet many things still need to be addressed" when discussing his talk with Putin.

On Monday earlier, the U.S. President mentioned that both Washington and Moscow had talked about territory, power stations, and "allocating specific resources" between Russia and Ukraine as part of an agreement.

The U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Karoline Leavitt indicated that American and Russian diplomats have been discussing the status of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, which fell under Russian control during the initial stages of the conflict.

Leavitt mentioned on Monday that there is a power plant located at the Russian-Ukrainian border which has been under discussion with Ukrainian officials, and this issue will be addressed during his conversation with Putin tomorrow.

Since Moscow launched an invasion and subsequently took control of the power plant, it has become engulfed in the midst of intense conflict. This situation has raised concerns among global organizations, who fear that combat operations near Europe’s biggest nuclear power station might result in a possible nuclear disaster.

During his evening speech, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy charged Putin with intentionally extending the conflict.

"The execution of this plan could have started much earlier. Each day during wartime concerns human lives," Zelenskyy stated.
