Moscow said Presidents Trump and Putin will discuss on the phone a possible 30-day ceasefire in Russia’s war on Ukraine following Russian talks with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. On Thursday, Vladimir Putin signaled he is open to a truce proposal, as he listed a series of conditions and concerns around ending his invasion.

President Vladimir Putin: “But who will give orders to cease hostilities? And what will be the price of such orders? Do you imagine almost 2,000 kilometers of frontline? Who will figure out who and when in the field of 2,000 kilometers had broken a ceasefire? And then who will blame whom in violation of this agreement?”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Putin of “manipulation,” explaining, “Putin often does this — he does not say 'no' directly, but he does it in such a way that … only delays and makes normal decisions impossible.”
