Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday agreed to prevent Ukraine from attacking the energy infrastructure, but the 30-day ceasefire still leaves many important issues unresolved.
The temporary Trus included no protection on the front lines or for the troops fighting for Ukrainian citizens, who continue to live through Russia’s continuous air bombing.
Putin’s initial agreement came after a 90 -minute phone conversation with President Donald Trump, who later took it on social media and described it as “very good” and “productive”.

Even if Trump Ukraine-Russia secure the peace deal, can Putin be trusted?
He said, “We all agreed to an immediate ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, with an understanding that we will work quickly for a complete ceasefire and eventually, the end of this very terrible war between Russia and Ukraine,” he said. “This process is now in full strength and influence, and we, hope, get the work done for humanity!”
Trump later told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham “on the” Ingraham Kon “that Putin would be difficult to move in a ceasefire”. Russia’s advantage. “
Speaking to Scene Hanny on Tuesday, special envoy Steve Witcoff said that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary State Marco Rubio will visit Saudi Arabia on Sunday, to discuss the details of Tuesday’s agreement between the two leaders.
The office of Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky did not answer questions from Fox News Digital, but in a message posted to X, he said, “Putin effectively rejected a complete ceasefire proposal.”
He said, “It would be right for the world to reject any attempt by Putin to prolong the war,” he continued, exposed Russia’s continuous attacks on Ukrainian citizens, with a Russian drone on Tuesday when a Shahd drone created by a Russia killed a hospital in Sumi region of Ukraine.
“Restrictions against Russia. Assistance for Ukraine.” Strengthening colleagues in an independent world and working towards safety guarantee, “Zelancesi may step into the western world to fight Putin.” Russia can bring peace, as a proof of the desire to end this war, only a real closing of the strike on the citizen infrastructure. ,
The Trump administration has argued that the true interaction can only begin when a ceasefire is secured, although it is not clear how the conversation will proceed without a trusa that includes civil security from Russia’s air strikes.
Neither the State Department nor the White House answered the questions of Fox News Digital as to why the President believes Putin “wants to make peace” – Jo Trump accused Zelansky of not having “serious” when he attempted to negotiate security guarantee for Ukraine last month.
NATO and European Union officials were also harassed after a call between Trump and Putin.

Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire last week, which after a one -hour -long meeting with State Secretary Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who said the pair that they would then take “to Russians.”
While Washington had low on the details of the dialogues agreed by Kiev, Zelancesi stated that the US had pushed for a complete ceasefire on the lines, in the air and in the Black Sea – a push trump was clearly unable to secure his Tuesday’s discussions with Putin.

Zelancesi said his delegation also discussed “the release of war and prisoners of prisoners – both military and citizens – and the return of Ukrainian children, which were forcibly shifted to Russia.”
While Kremlin said on Tuesday that Putin had agreed to the 175-Jail exchange with Ukraine, 20,000 Ukrainian children were not mentioned, Kiev has forcibly kidnapped, large-scale Luhansk and Donetsk, and then have been informed through adoption plans in Russia.
There is a litter of issues that still need to interact between Ukraine and Russia, which the US has said that Europe will also be a part.

Putin has already made it clear that Ukraine should not be allowed to join NATO – which the Trump administration has also supported concerns that can not only enhance the nature of Russia’s war, but can increase.
European leaders and Zelansky have argued that peace soldiers should be placed in Ukraine to prevent Russia from starting the future invasion – but Moscow has already indicated that it will be seen as a threat to Russia.
Western weapons supply issues, international adhering of Russian -occupied land, future protection of Ukraine, Russia’s continuous air campaign on Ukrainian soldiers and civilian population in Kursk remain all major issues that need to be interacted.
“Putin does not share the hatred of the war of Putin Trump,” told Fox News Digital, former head of CIA Moscow station. “There is no indication at the point that he is going to do anything else, but interact with an eye to ensure that Ukraine cannot stop future Russian attacks.”
Hoffman also argued that the Trump administration needs to be careful about finding himself in a situation where Washington wants more ceasefire than Moscow.

“Let them talk,” Hoffman said.
