Details: The Institute of War Study recalled that the Russians reported that after Trump had spoken with Putin, the Russian leader allegedly ordered the troops to stop attacking Ukrainian infrastructure.
The Kremlin stated that he had destroyed his drones, who were in the air, and Ukraine allegedly attacked the same evening with the help of UAV territory of the Russian Federation.
ISW analysts say that Russia’s statements that it adheres to a ceasefire regime, refraining from strokes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, and Ukraine has violated the agreement, as both countries have not officially executed the agreement.
These Kremlin statements are trying to use the lack of clarity about the ceasefire for manipulation, accusing Ukraine of violations before the agreement came into force, indicating the potential use of such tactics in the future.
The ISW report states that the Kremlin denies Trump’s statements about his telephone conversation with Putin on March 18. The Russian report states that Putin urged to stop all foreign military assistance to Ukraine, while Trump claimed that this issue had not raised at all.
Key conclusions ISW for March 19:
- Russia and Ukraine have not officially announced the implementation of a temporary long -range ceasefire.
- Official statements of the USA and Russia indicate that the parties of the truce have not yet agreed on the details of the agreement.
- The Kremlin continues to demand that Ukraine concedes to the Ukrainian territory that Russia has not occupied at present, and to make conditions for further territorial requirements.
- The United States, Ukraine and Europe continue to agree with the fact that Ukraine and Europe should participate in peace talks to end the war, despite the efforts of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to exclude Ukraine and Europe from such negotiations.
- On March 19, prisoners of war were exchanged between Ukraine and Russia.
