Russia's Putin and Trump Reach Limited Ceasefire Deal on Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin committed in a phone call with Donald Trump to limit Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy assets but declined to agree to a broader 30-day ceasefire as the US had sought. The leaders agreed to an "energy and infrastructure ceasefire." Negotiations for a permanent peace will begin immediately. They spoke for more than 90 minutes. Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall and Daniel Flatley report.

Let's see what the rest of the allies have to say about the ceasefire deal?

[kylenmaple]

A partial ceasefire without security guarantees is pretty much meaningless

[yamchayaku]

funny that there's talks about a ceasefire on Ukraine... Without Ukraine being in the conversation

[PtolemyL-mr]

Clickbait. A stop on attacks on energy infrastructure is not a ceasefire.

[aliceUa]

Meaning, do not destroy Russian oil refineries. O well..

[LoveFactorySweatShop]

Just like the great, beautiful, grand Gaza ceasefire deal.

[fatbat]

need a lot of mustard for this bologna!

[davidamos]

Big win for Putin- Refining protected.

[StephaneDesnault]

Did anyone expect anything more from a "talk" between a dictator and a wannabe dictator ?

[blang]

Limited is the key word that means nothing

[johnnybumpous]

I'm not too optimistic about any kind of peace agreement...😮

[KrasnayaArmada]

He couldnt get him to stop bombing the cities. Failure

[chandacoventry]

How nice of them. Have they bothered to inform Zelensky of their plans? Because you haven’t mentioned what he thought of their ceasefire plans? 🙄🙄🙄

[headpump]

This "agreement" is pathetic.

[chody]

Yet again, it seems Ukraine has no say

[johnphipps]

I wouldn't trust either Putin or Trump!!!

[lawrenceosh]

This deal is not to embarrass Trump in public.
This is not a cease-fire deal. Prisoner exchanges have been going on before this meeting; also, refraining from attacking energy infrastructure also benefits Russia.

[rjparry]

Trump bows down to his lord and master and the people of Ukraine aren’t even at the table

[davilaavelino]

Without zelinsky, there is no agreement. They must be faced to face.

[gregtremblay]

Cease-fire on "Energy and Infrastructure"? Wow! It just so happens that the Ukraine is having great success with drones, which has refineries and fuel-storage locations in flames and destructed. This is seriously disrupting their needs to provide for the fighting units. I say one more week and Russia will have to stop. Good Luck from Canada!
