Hey there! Have you heard the big news? ๐๏ธ
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin had a 90-minute phone call. ๐ Guess what they agreed on? An immediate pause in strikes against energy facilities in Ukraine! ๐บ๐ฆโก
This means they’re taking a first step towards peace. โ๏ธ The White House called it a “movement to peace” and hopes it will lead to even more, like a ceasefire in the Black Sea. ๐
President Trump shared on social media that they will be working quickly for a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to the war between Russia and Ukraine. ๐๏ธ
The leaders also talked about exchanging prisoners of war and improving the relationship between the United States and Russia. ๐ค
But wait, there’s more! Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he’s hopeful but wants more details. He mentioned that Ukraine is open to any ideas that bring a lasting and fair peace. ๐๏ธ However, he didn’t agree with stopping military aid to Ukraine, as it might weaken their position.
This is a big deal because it could mean less fighting and more talking. Let’s hope for the best! ๐
