Trump and Putin: Is peace for Ukraine now?
A decisive phone call between US President Donald Trump and Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin took place on Tuesday and lasted over 90 minutes. According to reports from Krone.at The two heads of state discussed a possible termination of the war in Ukraine. Trump presented a proposal for a 30-day ceasefire that had already been accepted by Kiev. In return, Putin is said to have agreed to suspend attacks on energy systems for this period. The White House emphasized that further negotiations on the ceasefire should be continued at sea in order to promote geopolitical stability.
As part of the conversation, however, Putin called for a complete stop of the western support for Ukraine to enable long -term ceasefire. Trump and Putin agreed to stay in touch, and working groups are to be founded to develop an agreement. While Trump spoke optimistically about the prospect of peace, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the current circumstances offer more hope of completing conflicts than a few months ago. This was also confirmed by a representative of the White House. Rubio also emphasized that Ukraine was encouraged by the United States to agree to a 30-day break, which has already been discussed and is now waiting for Moscow approval.
