On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in a phone call, their first discussion since a tense encounter at the White House three weeks earlier.

Zelenskyy characterized the call as 'positive, very substantive, and frank' and shared Ukraine's acceptance of a partial ceasefire agreement.

This development comes on the heels of talks between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which they reached a consensus on the ceasefire terms.

The White House announced that Trump had offered support to Ukraine in obtaining additional air defense systems.

Ukrainian officials are expressing hope for the current state of US-Ukraine relations after a challenging period.

The objective of the partial ceasefire is to temporarily halt strikes on energy infrastructure and establish a ceasefire in the Black Sea.

However, specifics regarding the agreement remain hazy, with differing accounts from Moscow and Washington.

A pending deal would grant the US access to Ukraine's mineral resources, and discussions also included a proposal for American ownership of Ukrainian power plants.

The Kremlin has underlined the necessity of a total halt to foreign military assistance to Kyiv as a prerequisite for meaningful peace negotiations.
