**US and Russia Talk Peace**
The leaders of the US and Russia, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, talked on the phone for an hour and a half. They discussed ways to calm down the war between Russia and Ukraine.
According to the Kremlin, Trump and Putin want to improve relations between their countries. This is because they both feel responsible for keeping the world safe and stable.
The US and Russia agreed to work together in several areas. One of these areas is energy. They also talked about stopping attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities for 30 days.
Another area where they agree to cooperate is in the Middle East. They will start new peace talks, focusing on a ceasefire in the Black Sea.
Trump and Putin did not only talk about Ukraine. They also discussed ways to improve US-Russia relations. The White House says this could lead to big economic deals between the two countries.
The Kremlin even joked that Trump and Putin talked about organizing hockey matches between Russian and American professional players!
**Ukraine Reacts**
Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, said he had not yet spoken with Trump. However, Kyiv supports a halt on energy infrastructure attacks.
Zelensky also noted that Russia does not want to stop its attacks in all areas of Ukraine. Putin has rejected the idea of a full ceasefire, which is why he offered only 30 days without attacking Ukrainian energy facilities.
