Putin Agrees to 30-day Halt in Energy Infrastructure Strikes in Ukraine

ai generated text

Trump and Putin agreed to a limited ceasefire halting Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure but rejected a broader 30-day truce. They also committed to peace talks in the Middle East and improving US-Russia relations. Putin insisted a full ceasefire required the West to stop aiding Ukraine.

Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Many elements of a contract for peace were discussed.
2. This War would have never started if I were President!
3. Any attacks that happened last night would have happened before that order was given. In fact, the Russians tell me this morning that seven of their drones were on their way when President Putin issued his order, and they were shot down by Russian forces. So I tend to believe that President Putin is operating in good faith.
4. We've moved beyond just the economic minerals deal framework, and we're looking at a lasting ceasefire, right now a partial ceasefire. But again, the president is sending his highly skilled, intelligent and experienced team to Saudi Arabia later this week to creating peace in this conflict, and I would just reiterate one more time, we have been closer to peace than we are today.

1. President Trump assured President Zelenskyy that he would coordinate with European partners to identify available defense systems. The focus remains on protecting civilians and ensuring Ukraine's security while advancing toward a broader peace deal.
Michael Waltz
Republican Party
1. Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end. That process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!
2. I spoke today with my Russian counterpart Yuri Ushakov about President Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine. We agreed our technical teams would meet in Riyadh in the coming days to focus on implementing and expanding the partial ceasefire President Trump secured from Russia.
White House
1. The leaders spoke broadly about the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts.
2. This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved.
Kremlin
1. Vladimir Putin said that, on March 19, the Russian and Ukrainian sides would exchange prisoners – 175 for 175 people.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. This war has two sides — Russia and Ukraine. And negotiating without Ukraine, in my view, is pointless.
2. In many regions we can exactly hear what it is that Russia wants.
3. It cannot be a one-sided deal where Russia continues hitting our energy sector while we remain silent. We will respond. But if both sides — Ukraine and Russia — commit to refraining from such attacks, our side will uphold it.
4. When Putin said that he was allegedly ordering a halt to strikes on Ukrainian energy, there were 150 drones overnight, including on energy facilities. There were strikes on transportation, unfortunately, two hospitals were hit, and on urban infrastructure.
5. Only a real cessation of strikes on civilian infrastructure by Russia, as proof of its willingness to end this war, can bring peace closer.
6. I want to be frank, very frank. Today I did not feel any pressure from Trump, there was none. And this is a fact. You know that I am an open person. If it was, I would have told you frankly.
7. I don't intend to discuss with the Russians what our army should look like.
8. Do we need it? For people, yes, and for Europe, too. To join the European electronic network – absolutely. We can do all this.
9. Today is another day when Ukraine brings its people back. 175 of our defenders have been released from Russian captivity.
Emmanuel Macron
Renaissance
1. We will continue to support the Ukrainian army in its war of resistance against Russian aggression.
Keir Starmer
Labour Party
1. This will be a significant force, with a significant number of countries providing troops and a larger group contributing in other ways.
2. We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes to ensure Russia can never launch an illegal invasion again.
