# Ukraine has accused Russia of effectively rejecting a US-backed ceasefire proposal, reporting a barrage of strikes hours after Moscow agreed to pause attacks on energy facilities. In a call with US President Donald Trump yesterday, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said a comprehensive deal would be contingent on the West halting all military aid and intelligence to Ukraine. The call resulted in a scaled-back commitment to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. According to the Kremlin, Putin has already ordered a pause to strikes against Ukraine’s power grid for 30 days.
