US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agreed that Russia’s war on Ukraine "needs to end with a lasting peace," the White House said after the leaders concluded a lengthy phone call.
"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," the executive mansion said in a statement issued after the presidents spoke for over two hours.
"These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East," it added.
Trump and Putin also agreed on the need to improve bilateral ties, affirming that doing so would have "huge upside," including economic agreements "and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved."
