Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to halt attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, but a 30-day ceasefire leaves significant issues unresolved. The truce excludes protections for frontline troops and Ukrainian civilians facing ongoing Russian aerial bombardments. Putin’s agreement followed a 90-minute phone call with President Donald Trump, who called it “very good” and “productive.” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office criticized the partial ceasefire and urged the world to reject any attempts by Putin to prolong the conflict. The U.S. administration insists true negotiations can only begin after a ceasefire, but it’s unclear how negotiations will proceed without broader security guarantees. The conflict remains far from resolution, with military actions, prisoner swaps, and Ukraine’s future security status among the unresolved issues.
