In a surprising turn, Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle to a limited ceasefire focused on energy targets! The deal came after a series of calls involving U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The agreement, described as a "partial ceasefire against energy," emerged amid discussions where Trump and his counterparts stressed that peace could begin with a pause in strikes on energy and infrastructure. However, details remain fuzzy as each side offers its own interpretation.
Technical teams from the U.S. and Ukraine are set to meet in Saudi Arabia soon to explore broadening the ceasefire—potentially extending its effects to the Black Sea region on the path toward a full ceasefire. Intelligence sharing between the U.S. and Ukraine will continue as the situation on the battlefield evolves.
During his call with Zelenskyy, Trump also discussed ways to protect Ukraine's critical energy systems, even suggesting that American management of vital electrical and nuclear power plants could help safeguard the infrastructure. Zelenskyy emphasized on social platforms that reducing strikes on energy and other civilian targets could be one of the first steps toward ending the war.
While this limited ceasefire offers a glimmer of hope, many questions remain about its scope and future developments. In these uncertain times, every little step toward stability is worth noting. Stay tuned as this evolving story unfolds! 🤞⚡
