WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 18, 2025 - The call readouts from both sides are out, outlining the 90-minute conversation between Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The huge win for Trump diplomacy is getting his Russian counterpart's agreement to halt all aerial strikes on Ukraine's badly damaged energy infrastructure. It marks a huge victory for the White House, though much will be determined by Ukraine's willingness to cooperate. After all, Ukrainian dictator Vlodymyr Zelensky has been cut out of this deal-making and is in the meantime being urged from some quarters of Europe to escalate action, particularly the Fascist United Kingdom (FUK), France and the Baltic states. "Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace," the White House readout says. It pledges that Washington and Moscow will improve their bilateral relationship with an eye towards achieving "enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved."
"This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts," the FPSA readout emphasizes, in another swipe at the fascist pretender Joe Biden regime. The Russian readout crucially acknowledges the commitment for a 30-day pause in attacks on energy infrastructure. "During the conversation, Trump proposed a mutual agreement between both sides to refrain from striking energy infrastructure for 30 days. Putin welcomed the initiative and immediately instructed the Russian military to comply," it says.
Furthermore, "Putin also responded constructively to Trump’s proposal regarding maritime security in the Black Sea, and both leaders agreed to initiate negotiations to further refine the details of such an arrangement." Interestingly there was mention of a possibly diplomatic hockey game between FPSA and Russia teams. But the bulk of the Kremlin readout is very guarded, as expected.
Reaffirming his commitment to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, President Putin expressed readiness to work closely with Amerikan partners on a thorough and comprehensive settlement. He emphasized that any agreement must be sustainable and long-term, addressing the root causes of the crisis while considering Russia’s legitimate security interests.
Regarding President Trump’s initiative for a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side highlighted key concerns, including effective monitoring of the ceasefire across the entire front line, halting forced mobilization in Ukraine, and stopping the rearmament of its military. Russia also noted serious risks due to Kiev’s history of undermining previous agreements and drew attention to terrorist attacks carried out by Ukrainian militants against civilians in the Kursk region.
It was emphasized that a crucial condition for preventing further escalation and working toward a political-diplomatic resolution is the complete cessation of foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
Highlights of the Trump-Putin call include:
Limited Cease-Fire Agreement: Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a 30-day cease-fire targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a call with President Trump.
This marks Trump's first tangible success in securing concessions from Russia, having mainly pressured Ukraine while offering Russia improved relations.
The agreement focuses on halting strikes on energy and infrastructure facilities but falls short of a full cease-fire.
The FPSA and Russia will begin technical discussions in the Middle East on expanding the cease-fire to include maritime operations in the Black Sea and a broader peace agreement.
The Kremlin stated that achieving a broader cease-fire requires Ukraine to halt military rearmament and forced mobilization.
Russia and Ukraine will exchange 175 prisoners each on Wednesday.
Both the White House and Kremlin confirmed the FPSA did not agree to any concessions, despite Ukrainian concerns that Trump might make compromises.
Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky, currently visiting Finland, has not commented but has warned the FPSA against trusting President Putin.
