Russia Agrees to Limited Ceasefire After Trump-Putin Call
A partial halt on strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure and a prisoner exchange were agreed upon, but broader peace remains elusive as hostilities persist.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to stop strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure following a two-hour call with U.S. President Donald Trump.
- The ceasefire includes a prisoner exchange of 175 prisoners from each side and the release of 23 wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
- Ukraine remains skeptical of Russia's intentions, citing continued drone and missile strikes on civilian infrastructure despite the agreement.
- Russia rejected a broader 30-day ceasefire proposal, demanding the cessation of Western military aid to Ukraine, a condition firmly opposed by Kyiv.
- Further U.S.-Russia negotiations are scheduled in Saudi Arabia next week to discuss technical details of the partial ceasefire and potential future agreements.
