How Donald Trump's call with Vladimir Putin impacts the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire

0:00
president Trump once said that he would
0:01
end the war in Ukraine in one day that
0:04
didn't quite pan out but the US
0:05
president wants to stamp his name all
0:07
over any peace deal that would bring an
0:09
end to three years of war his call with
0:11
Vladimir Putin this week got him some
0:13
concessions the Russian leader has
0:15
agreed to stop attacks on Ukraine's
0:17
energy infrastructure for 30 days
0:19
according to Russian State media the
0:20
call lasted around 2 hours and they
0:22
apparently talked about International
0:24
Security peace in the Middle East and
0:26
even ice hockey Trump has posted on his
0:29
truth social afterwards to say that the
0:31
call was a very good and productive one
0:33
by all accounts the tone of the call was
0:34
a lot warmer than when Trump kicked
0:36
Ukrainian president ziny out of the
0:38
White House in February and this direct
0:40
re-engagement with the Russian president
0:42
is a major diplomatic U-turn for the US
0:45
under the Biden Administration Putin was
0:47
a pariah throughout the west and Putin
0:49
has put forward a number of major
0:51
caveats to the US ceasefire deal signed
0:53
off by zalinsky earlier in March
0:55
insisting that Ukraine must be cut off
0:57
from intelligence flows and arms
0:59
supplies zinsky has said that Putin's
1:01
ceasefire is purposefully designed to
1:03
weaken Ukraine and to cut it off from
1:05
its allies he says they are not ready to
1:08
end this war and we can see that they
1:10
are not even ready for the first step
1:12
which is a ceasefire the reaction to the
1:13
call around the world has been mixed
1:15
Downing Street put out a statement
1:16
welcoming the progress that President
1:18
Trump has made towards the ceasefire but
1:20
insisting that any negotiations must
1:22
lead to a just and Lasting peace but the
1:24
former UK prime minister Boris Johnson
1:27
has said that Trump has been played by
1:28
Putin he wrote on Act that Putin isn't
1:31
negotiating he's laughing at us and just
1:33
hours after Putin appeared to have given
1:35
the orders to Halt attacks on Ukraine's
1:37
energy infrastructure there were reports
1:40
of drone and missile strikes on
1:41
Ukrainian cities with blackout reported
1:44
in the town of Sloans in the Donk region
1:46
Trump didn't exactly get many
1:48
compromises out of Putin and it's not
1:50
clear whether or not in private he's
1:52
happy about this if this is the kind of
1:54
peace deal that the US ultimately puts
1:56
in front of Ukraine it may not be an
1:58
acceptable one and at this stage there
2:00
is very little evidence that Putin is
2:02
approaching peace talks in good faith if
2:04
