WASHINGTON: (AFP):  Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a call with US counterpart Donald Trump Tuesday to halt attacks against Ukrainian energy targets, but refused a full ceasefire unless the West halts all military aid for Kyiv.

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky said he backed the 30-day truce on energy infrastructure after more than three years of grinding war while accusing Putin of still seeking to "weaken" his country.
