Trump and Putin in the crisis call: Does the ceasefire for Ukraine come?

In a significant phone call between US President Donald Trump and the Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two heads of state have negotiated an "energy and infrastructure weapon rest" for Ukraine. This agreement provides for a 30-day suspension of attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, report Vol.at and 1und1.de . Trump's chief of staff Dan Scavino announced that the conversation began at 10:00 a.m. local time and so far "going well". It served the discussion about the termination of the Ukraine War, with Trump and Putin also talking about area claims and energy issues.

The Ukrainian government has already agreed to a ceasefire, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow expressed reservations. Putin demands that Ukraine commit itself to non-membership in NATO and accept area taxes. One of his demands also includes an immediate stop of all arms deliveries to Ukraine to agree to the proposed ceasefire. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha called for unconditional consent from Russia to the US proposal to take a step towards peace. The worrying situation could also result in significant geopolitical changes in Europe, since the FDP politician Marie-Egnes Strack-Zimmermann warns against a possible division of the continent.

Trump himself said that "many elements of a final agreement have already been agreed", but there is still a lot to do. He sees a possibility for peace, despite the challenge of convincing the Kremlin. The telephone conversation has been the second official meeting of the two guides since Trump's return to the White House and осуществляется in a tense geopolitical environment in which Ukraine has been fighting against the Russian attack war for over three years. It remains to be seen whether this new initiative can really lead to stability in the region.
