On Wednesday, a telephone conversation occurred between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking their first dialogue since a tense meeting at the White House three weeks earlier.

Zelenskyy characterized the call as 'positive, very substantive, and frank,' and he announced Ukraine's acceptance of a partial ceasefire agreement.

This development comes after a conversation between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which they agreed on the ceasefire terms.

The White House reported that Trump offered to help Ukraine obtain more air defense batteries.

Ukrainian officials have shown optimism regarding the current state of US-Ukraine relations after a period of tension.

The partial ceasefire is intended to halt mutual strikes on energy infrastructure and to establish a ceasefire in the Black Sea.

However, specifics surrounding the agreement remain unclear, with differences evident between Moscow and Washington's accounts.

A deal that would provide the US access to Ukraine's mineral resources is still pending, and a proposal for American ownership of Ukrainian power plants was also discussed during the call.

The Kremlin has stressed that a complete halt of foreign military aid to Kyiv is a prerequisite for serious peace negotiations.
