On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump held a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking their first dialogue since a tense encounter at the White House three weeks earlier.

Zelenskyy characterized the call as 'positive, very substantive, and candid,' also announcing Ukraine's agreement to a partial ceasefire arrangement.

This event comes on the heels of discussions between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, where they harmonized their positions regarding the ceasefire terms.

The White House reported that Trump had proposed assistance to Ukraine in acquiring additional air defense systems.

Ukrainian officials have voiced optimism about the current dynamics of US-Ukraine relations, following a previously strained period.

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

However, specifics of the agreement remain ambiguous, with differing interpretations from Moscow and Washington.

A pending deal would allow the US access to Ukraine's mineral resources, while discussions were also held regarding American ownership of Ukrainian power plants during the call.

The Kremlin stressed that a complete halt to foreign military support for Kyiv is essential for serious peace negotiations to take place.
