Background:
- Earlier, following a conversation between Putin and Donald Trump, the Kremlin stated that a "key condition for preventing escalation" of the war in Ukraine should be the "complete cessation of foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv".
- It was also revealed that Putin had rejected the US proposal for a 30-day full ceasefire, which Ukraine had previously agreed to. Instead, he supported a pledge for both sides to refrain from attacking energy facilities for 30 days.
- Following his conversation with Trump on 19 March, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine agreed to the proposal for a partial truce, and representatives from Kyiv and Washington would discuss its technical details in Saudi Arabia.
