WASHINGTON — In a major step toward peace, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to stop attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure for 30 days. This temporary truce, announced Tuesday, aims to ease tensions between Russia and Ukraine while opening the door for more negotiations.
What’s the Deal?
- Trump and Putin had a long phone call, where they discussed ways to reduce conflict.
- Both leaders agreed to immediately start talks for a ceasefire in the Black Sea.
- The goal? A full ceasefire and, hopefully, a permanent peace agreement.
Why Does This Matter?
- The Russia-Ukraine war has killed or injured hundreds of thousands and forced millions to flee.
- Entire cities have been destroyed, and the fighting continues.
- Trump has been pushing for this ceasefire, which Ukraine has already agreed to.
What’s Next?
- Putin says he’s open to peace but still wants certain conditions met before stopping the war completely.
- The 30-day pause could lead to a much bigger peace deal—or it could just be a temporary break in the fighting.
Will this ceasefire bring real peace, or is it just a short-term pause? Let’s wait and see!
