President Vladimir Putin rejected an immediate and complete ceasefire in Ukraine and agreed to stop attacks on the energy infrastructure according to the call with US President Donald Trump.
The Russian leader has not joined the truce for a comprehensive month when the Trump team recently worked with the Ukrainians in Saudi Arabia.
He said a comprehensive ceasefire only effective when foreign military aid and information sharing with Ukraine ended.
Ukrainian European allies have previously rejected such conditions.
The US and Russian leaders agreed that peace talks would take place in the Middle East, but from the Trump administration’s point of view, the result of the retreat was the result of the telephone.
When the US delegation met with Ukrainian representatives in Jedda last Tuesday, they persuaded KYIV to agree with the proposal for “immediate” ceasefire, “crossing land, air and the sea.
President VolodyMyr Zelensky said Ukraine accepts the idea of ceasefire dealing with energy infrastructure, but he wants more details.
“I think it’s right to talk with President Trump, and I will know what Russia has given to Americans or what Americans have provided to Russia.”
Trump posted a social media on Tuesday, saying, “It was very good and productive.”
“We agreed to immediately ceasefire for all energy and infrastructure, and we talked about the truth society, understanding that we will try quickly for a complete ceasefire and ultimately end this terrible war between Russia and Ukrainians.
“Many of the factors of peace contracts have been discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and President Putin and Jellenski want to end it.”
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said that after the conversation held in Jedda last week, the “ball” was in the Russian court after the Ukrainians accepted Washington’s proposal for a complete ceasefire.
But the White House’s statement from the Trump-Putin phone did not mention the contract with KYIV.
Instead, the two leaders agreed that “the movement to peace will begin with energy and infrastructure stop,” and negotiations on “the Maritime Architecture of the Black Sea, the full truce and permanent peace”.
But he mentioned that Kremlin’s statement on this phone was “a series of important matters” of implementing a contract with KYIV. And the end of Ukraine’s support for foreigners and information is Russia’s “core conditions.”
Trump and Putin agreed to the immediate technical dialogue on long -term consensus, and Kremlin said it should be “complex, stable and long -term”.
But it’s not clear whether this means additional negotiations between the United States and Russia or bilateral talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Ukraine is probably the result of Vladimir Putin for a long time on the results of the calls that were expected on Tuesday.
The Russian leader has already tasted Trump’s preparation to block US support for Ukraine, and is trying to repeat it by throwing the ball back to KYIV.
