Russian president Vladimir Putin agreed to stop targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Russian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy says there were “hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure” Putin declined to back a 30-day ceasefire originally proposed by the US. Trump denies the Kremlin’s claim that Putin demanded an end to foreign military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine. Zelenskyy said after the call that Ukraine is open to any proposals that lead to sustainable and just peace. Russia has previously demanded Ukraine pull back its troops from four regions Moscow claims it annexed, renounce any prospect of joining NATO and sharply demilitarise. The joint statement does not specify how the ceasefire would be implemented or monitored. Prior to January, the two nations had also made an attempt to come together for peace negotations. The meeting planned in December had been unexpectedly cancelled after Rwanda made the signing of the agreement conditional on direct dialogue.
