President of Russia, Vladimir Putin has rejected an immediate and full ceasefire in Ukraine, agreeing only to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, following a call with US President Donald Trump.
Putin declined to sign up to the comprehensive month-long ceasefire that Trump’s team recently worked out with Ukrainians in Saudi Arabia.
He said that a comprehensive truce could only work if foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine came to an end.
US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, says that US talks on Ukraine are due to continue on Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
