周二，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)与弗拉基米尔·普京进行了一次高风险的通话，美国寻求俄乌之间的停火。
然而，周二晚些时候，总统在发布的一段视频中承认，30天的停火“将是艰难的”预先录制的采访福克斯新闻频道的《英格拉哈姆角》将于周二晚播出。
“现在，你有很多枪指着对方。如果没有更进一步，停火将是艰难的，”特朗普说。“我认为我们打了一个很棒的电话。...谈了很多事情，都是为了和平。我们还谈论了其他事情。”
白宫宣读的通话内容称，普京支持特朗普关于双方暂停能源基础设施攻击的想法，但不包括对乌克兰上周接受的30天休战的承诺，尽管特朗普近日乐观地认为莫斯科将会同意。
“两位领导人都同意，这场冲突需要以持久和平结束，”白宫在谈到特朗普与普京的通话时表示。“他们还强调需要改善两国间的双边关系美国还有俄罗斯。乌克兰和俄罗斯在这场战争中花费的鲜血和财富应该更好地用于满足人民的需求。"
白宫补充说:“这场冲突本不应该开始，早就应该通过真诚和善意的和平努力来结束。”“各国领导人同意，和平运动将从能源和基础设施停火开始，并就黑海海上停火、全面停火和永久和平的实施进行技术谈判。这些谈判将在中东立即开始。”
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在周二事态发展后的新闻发布会上表示，他对此持“怀疑态度”，但“如果部分停火，这是一个积极的结果”
特朗普周二晚些时候在自己的社交媒体帖子中称，长达一小时的对话“非常好，富有成效”
特朗普写道:“我们同意立即就所有能源和基础设施停火，并达成谅解，即我们将迅速努力实现全面停火，并最终结束俄罗斯和乌克兰之间这场非常可怕的战争。”。
白宫表示，特朗普和普京还更广泛地谈到了中东，包括伊朗。
“两位领导人一致认为，未来美国和俄罗斯之间双边关系的改善有着巨大的好处，”报道称。"这包括巨大的经济交易和实现和平后的地缘政治稳定."
据俄罗斯官方媒体报道，克里姆林宫表示，普京“支持”特朗普关于停止攻击俄罗斯和乌克兰能源基础设施30天的想法。
但就特朗普提出的为期一个月的更广泛休战而言，克里姆林宫的声明称，“俄方已经确定了一些重要问题，涉及确保对整条接触线可能的停火进行有效控制，需要停止在乌克兰的强制动员，以及重新武装乌克兰武装部队。”
克里姆林宫还表示，普京认为结束战争的条件应该包括“完全停止”外国对基辅的军事和情报援助。
特朗普政府采取了严厉措施，停止军事援助，并暂停了与乌克兰的一些情报共享椭圆形办公室冲突川普副总统万斯和弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基总统之间。在上周二乌克兰同意30天停火后，这两个工具被恢复。
乌克兰表示，任何协议都需要获得批准。
美国广播公司新闻首席国际记者詹姆斯·朗曼在周二的新闻发布会上问泽连斯基，他是否会承诺能源停火，以及他对特朗普和普京关系的看法。
“这很难说。就川普和普京的关系而言，很难回答这个问题，”泽连斯基回应道。“我指望与特朗普总统进行对话。我们会了解细节。我们一直支持停火立场，不使用任何武器攻击能源基础设施，我们也支持不攻击海军走廊的立场。”
“这些是我们的建议，我们将支持任何能够带来稳定和公正和平的建议，”他补充说。“但为此，我们需要了解我们在谈论什么，细节是什么，希望我们能够了解所有这些细节，以便合作伙伴能够告诉我们。因为这场战争中有两方，俄罗斯和乌克兰，所以如果没有乌克兰，我认为没有乌克兰的许多谈判都不会有任何帮助。”
Trump says 30-day ceasefire 'would have been tough' after high-stakes call with Putin
President Donald Trump held a high-stakes call with Vladimir Putin on Tuesday as the United States seeks a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
However, later Tuesday, the president conceded a 30-day ceasefire "would have been tough" in a released clip of apre-taped interviewon Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," which will air in full Tuesday night.
"Right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other. And the ceasefire, without going a little bit further, would have been tough," Trump said. "I think we had a great call. ... Talked about a lot of things and toward getting it to peace. And we talked about other things also."
A White House readout of the call said Putin supports Trump's idea for a mutual pause on energy infrastructure attacks -- but did not include a commitment to the 30-day truce accepted by Ukraine last week despite Trump's optimism in recent days that Moscow would go along.
"Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace," the White House said of the Trump-Putin call. "They also stressed the need for improved bilateral relations between theUnited Statesand Russia. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people."
"This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts," the White House added. "The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a news conference following Tuesday's developments, said he had "skepticism" but that "if there is a partial ceasefire, this is a positive result."
Trump, in his own social media post later Tuesday, called the hourslong conversation "very good and productive."
"We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine," Trump wrote.
Trump and Putin also spoke about the Middle East more broadly, including Iran, the White House said.
"The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia has huge upside," the readout stated. "This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved."
According to Russian state media, the Kremlin said Putin "supported" Trump's idea of a 30-day halt on attacking energy infrastructure in Russia and Ukraine.
But in terms of Trump's proposal for a broader monthlong truce, the Kremlin readout said that "the Russian side has identified a number of significant issues related to ensuring effective control over a possible ceasefire along the entire line of contact, the need to stop forced mobilization in Ukraine and the rearmament of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
The Kremlin also said Putin believed a condition for ending the war should include a "complete cessation" of foreign military and intelligence assistance to Kyiv.
The Trump administration took drastic steps in stopping military aid and pausing some intelligence sharing with Ukraine after theOval Office clashbetween Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Those two tools were resumed after Ukraine agreed to the 30-day ceasefire last Tuesday.
Ukraine has said it would need to approve any agreement.
Zelenskyy was asked by ABC News Chief International Correspondent James Longman during his news conference on Tuesday if he'd commit to an energy ceasefire and what he thought about Trump and Putin's relationship.
"It's hard to tell. It's hard to give an answer to the question in terms of the relationship between Trump and Putin," Zelenskyy responded. "I count on having a conversation with President Trump. We will understand the details. We have always supported the ceasefire position and not to use any weapons against the energy infrastructure, and also we have supported the position of not to attack the naval corridors."
"These were our proposals and we will support any proposals that would lead to stable and fair peace," he added. "But for that we would need to understand what we are talking about, what are the details and hopefully we will learn all those details so that the partners would be telling to us. Because there's two parties in this war, Russia and Ukraine, so without Ukraine I think many negotiations without Ukraine would not result in any help."
