Putin agrees to pause strikes on Ukraine’s energy targets in Trump call amid ‘movement to peace’

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a 90-minute phone call to begin “the movement to peace” in Russia’s three-year-old war against Ukraine, starting with a 30-day ceasefire on energy targets, according to the White House.

A White House readout of the conversation said the two leaders had agreed on an “energy and infrastructure ceasefire,” with talks to begin “immediately in the Middle East” about a full ceasefire. Separately, the Kremlin said Putin had agreed to stop strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure for the next month. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has also said he would agree to the 30-day pause in fighting.
