Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a limited ceasefire that pares down the proposal for a 30-day ceasefire that the United States and Ukraine struck earlier this month, the White House announced.
The agreement would “begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire,” the White House said of the deal hashed out between Putin and President Donald Trump, who spoke at length over the phone Tuesday. In a statement acknowledging the phone call with Trump, the Kremlin claimed Putin ordered the Russian military to cease attacks on all energy and infrastructure facilities, but said that negotiations with Ukraine have been repeatedly violated.
Ukraine was not involved in negotiations for this more limited ceasefire proposal, and it is not clear whether they have agreed to the proposal.
