The USA and Russia appear to disagree on what the presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agreed on in their phone call on Tuesday.

The White House announced after the call that the presidents had agreed to initiate a peace process in the war in Ukraine, which would begin with a ceasefire regarding "energy and infrastructure".

The Kremlin, in turn, announced that they had agreed on a pause in attacks solely on "energy infrastructure" and claimed that Putin had already informed Russia's military to cease such attacks for 30 days.

No, it's energy and infrastructure in general, says the US envoy Steve Witkoff in response to a question from Fox News about what type of attacks are covered by the proposed ceasefire.
