Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump held an hour-long call as part of attempts to thrash out a Russia war ceasfire deal.

Ukraine has reportedly agreed to a Russia ceasefire deal following a call between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump. The two leaders held an hour-long call earlier today - 24 hours after Trump spoke at length with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian leader told his US counterpart that he would abide by an "energy and infrastructure ceasefire" after Putin agreed to the proposal on Tuesday, a source close to the situation told Bloomberg.

Zelensky informed Trump of his agreement during a phone call today, they added, marking the first conversation between the two since their widely-publicised bust-up in the Oval Office last month. Following "productive" talks with the Kremlin yesterday, Trump described his call with Zelensky as "very good" - adding that work towards a ceasefire was "on track". "Much of the discussion was based on the call made yesterday with President Putin in order to align both Russia and Ukraine in terms of their requests and needs," the US leader wrote on Truth Social.

THANK GOD FOR THAT!
