U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to seek a limited ceasefire against energy and infrastructure targets in the Russia-Ukraine war.

The White House announced the agreement Tuesday in a press release after a 90-minute phone call between Trump and Putin. 

According to the White House, the two leaders discussed the need for a ceasefire and agreed that the conflict needs to end with a lasting peace. 

Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that the movement toward peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations for a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, followed by a full ceasefire and permanent peace. 

The White House added that these negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East.

Trump hailed the call as “good and productive” in a social media post.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is receptive to an energy truce but needs more details from Washington first.
