For reference:
On March 18, Trump and Putin had a telephone conversation. The leaders called after 4 p.m. Kyiv time. The dialogue lasted more than 2.5 hours.
In particular, following the negotiations, it became known that Putin rejected Trump's proposal for an unconditional, complete ceasefire. Instead, the dictator agreed to stop only strikes on energy infrastructure facilities.
In the context of introducing a 30-day ceasefire, the key Russian demand is a complete cessation of foreign military assistance and providing intelligence information to Ukraine.
At the same time, the head of the Russian Federation announced that on March 19, a prisoner exchange would be held between the Russian and Ukrainian sides according to the "175 for 175" scheme. Russia will also return 23 seriously wounded Ukrainian service members to Ukraine.
Also, US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed during a telephone conversation that peace talks on the Russian-Ukrainian war should "begin immediately in the Middle East."
It is worth adding that on March 11, Ukraine and the United States of America held an official meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During the negotiations, the parties agreed on several issues, as stated in a joint statement following the meeting: in particular, the United States canceled the pause in the exchange of intelligence and resumed security assistance.
