Ukraine and Russia agreed in principle to a limited ceasefire after U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with both countries' leaders this week, though exactly what the agreement covers remains unclear with the three sides offering different interpretations.
A partial ceasefire against energy
The White House said Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a phone call on Wednesday agreed to "a partial ceasefire against energy" between Russia and Ukraine.
The phone call came one day after Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Tuesday in their phone talks that the peace in Ukraine "will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire" in Ukraine.
U.S. and Ukrainian "technical teams will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to discuss broadening the ceasefire to the Black Sea on the way to a full ceasefire" in Ukraine, said a statement signed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
