WASHINGTON—Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a limited cease-fire against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a phone call with President Trump on Tuesday, but remained resistant to a longer-lasting peace plan pushed by the U.S. president since his election.
The cease-fire is the first tangible concession from Russia won by Trump in his campaign for a peace deal, in which he has mainly pressured Kyiv for concessions. For the Kremlin, Trump has dangled the enticement of improved relations and an end to its international isolation.

“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 posted Tuesday to social media. “We will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!”
The Kremlin said in a statement that Trump presented a proposal for Ukraine and Russia to cease strikes on energy infrastructure facilities for 30 days. “Vladimir Putin responded positively to this initiative and immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding command,” the statement said.

The White House statement also contained a key detail hinting at a realignment of the Middle East: a statement of support for Israel over Iran.
'The two leaders shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel,' the readout said.
It hinted at the potential for a future shift in the world order in which Moscow becomes less forthright in its support of Tehran, which has been a longtime ally.
