President Donald Trump took a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday.
According to an official press release from the White House, Trump and Putin spoke at length about the need for peace and a ceasefire in Russia’s war with Ukraine.
“Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace,” the readout of the conversation says. “They also stressed the need for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people.”
It goes on to state that the “conflict should never have started” and will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.
“This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East.”
