In a recent phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, an agreement was reached for both Ukraine and Russia to refrain from attacking each other's energy infrastructure for a period of 30 days.

However, reports indicate that violations occurred almost immediately, with Ukraine claiming to have faced Russian attacks on energy sites even on the first night after the agreement was made.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a new initiative aimed at ensuring compliance with the partial ceasefire.

He is expected to present this plan to President Trump on Wednesday, raising questions about Trump's potential response.

The phone conversation lasted over an hour, during which both leaders discussed elements of the proposed ceasefire.

Trump described the call as productive and emphasized the urgent need to end the loss of lives among soldiers on both sides.

He stated, "We agreed on an immediate ceasefire regarding all energy infrastructure, with the aim of rapidly moving towards a complete ceasefire to ultimately end this horrific war."

Both leaders expressed a mutual understanding of the necessity for durable peace in the ongoing conflict, which has resulted in significant military and civilian casualties.

According to Russian state news agency TASS, Putin endorsed Trump’s proposal, subsequently issuing orders to the military to adhere to the new directives.

The White House issued a statement confirming the discussion, highlighting a shared commitment to a ceasefire and a lasting resolution to the conflict.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt noted the importance of improving bilateral relations between the United States and Russia, adding that the vast resources spent on the war should instead benefit the needs of their peoples.

Despite the optimism surrounding the ceasefire agreement, concerns arose when, shortly after the call, Ukraine reported fresh Russian attacks on its energy sector.

President Zelensky criticized these actions, revealing that up to 150 drones targeted various installations, including energy facilities, even after assurances had been communicated.

Moreover, the Kremlin accused Ukraine of breaching the agreement, alleging attempts to attack Russian energy infrastructure.

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, stated that there were attacks directed towards an oil infrastructure facility in the Krasnodar region, claiming it resulted in a significant fire.

Reportedly, Ukrainian officials have called for dialogue concerning the energy infrastructure, with Zelensky proposing to share a list of energy sites to facilitate compliance with the ceasefire.

The Ukrainian president expressed the view that the U.S. should oversee the verification of the ceasefire in energy-related matters.

Zelensky also mentioned that an upcoming meeting in Saudi Arabia would focus on discussions regarding a partial ceasefire and the safety of critical maritime infrastructure, with Ukrainian military and energy experts set to participate.

In the days following the ceasefire announcement, Putin's administration has introduced additional conditions.

According to sources close to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who seeks to mediate, these new requirements delineate expectations for Ukraine, including a commitment to neutrality and ceasing NATO membership aspirations.

As Zelensky prepares for the next round of negotiations, he has reiterated concerns regarding Putin's intentions, suggesting that the Russian leader's demands reveal a lack of genuine interest in pursuing a ceasefire.

Zelensky called for decisive action from the United States and emphasized the need to exert pressure on Russia to halt the conflict.
