US President Donald Trump on Monday held extensive discussions with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to persuade the latter to sign off on a 30-day ceasefire as a pathway to end the war in Ukraine.

- AGENCIES @ Washington/Moscow

While Ukraine has already agreed to the US-proposed ceasefire, Russia sought clarifications on some points.

Neither the White House nor Kremlin offered any immediate comments about the talks.

The two leaders spoke for over two-and-a-half hours, Russian news agency TASS reported quoting Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

This is the second time Trump and Putin have spoken over the phone since the former took office in January.

Tuesday's call comes after Ukrainian officials last week agreed to the American proposal during talks in Saudi Arabia led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
