A relatively minor breakthrough for the US in its attempts to end hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.  

Russian President Vladimir Putin's agreed to pause attacks on energy infrastructure for 30 days and progress talks about a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea.  

It follows a call with Donald Trump, who had been seeking a temporary ceasefire on all fronts.  

Edward Lucas from the Centre of European Policy Analysis told Mike Hosking Putin's tardiness prior to the call could be perceived as a weapon.  

He believes Putin doesn't show Trump a mutual level of respect, and perhaps the thin pickings out of the call reflect that.
