During Tuesday's Trump-Putin phone call, which lasted some 90-minutes, the White House said that President Putin committed to a halt of attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure for a period of 30-days. The Kremlin readout also appeared to acknowledge and agree to this.

Less than 24 hours later, Russia has accused Ukraine of already breaking the Trump agreement. Russia's defense ministry on Wednesday said Ukraine attack an oil transfer facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Region that services an international pipeline operation partially owned by American investors.

The ministry described that the overnight attack saw three kimikaze drones target the site near the village of Kavkazskaya. The site transfers crude to a pipeline operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), an international firm which has among its partners US giants Chevron and Mobil, Russia's RT notes.

The drone impact reportedly set fire to an oil reservoir, which has reportedly taken emergency crews a long time to extinguish. Local reports say crews are still battling the blaze.

Moscow is describing the attack as part of an intentional efforts to thwart any advancement of a peace or ceasefire agreement between Russia and the US.

"Clearly, this was a premeditated provocation by the Kiev regime aimed at derailing the US president’s peace initiative," the Russian military stated soon after.

There indeed doesn't appear to be any meaning ceasefire on at the moment, but the concession Trump was able to get from Putin marks a first of the war...

The Russian readout of Tuesday's Trump call included the following: "During the conversation, Trump proposed a mutual agreement between both sides to refrain from striking energy infrastructure for 30 days. Putin welcomed the initiative and immediately instructed the Russian military to comply."

However, Russia has yet to agree to refrain from other attacks, and is likely to continue hitting Ukraine hard so long as drones keep flying across the border.

Ukraine's Zelensky says he soon expects to hold a phone call with President Trump. His position has remained that nothing can be agreed to ceasefire-wise without Kiev's direct participation and input.
