The two leaders addressed key issues, including a proposed 30-day ceasefire, a prisoner exchange, and maritime security

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump have held a phone conversation lasting over two hours, discussing a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict.

The Kremlin reported that the two leaders spoke about a suggested 30-day ceasefire, a prisoner exchange,and maritime security=, with Putin responding positively to Trump’s proposals. Both leaders expressed interest in normalizing US-Russia relations, agreeing to continue discussions on global security, economic cooperation, and even cultural exchanges like NHL-KHL hockey matches.

The Kremlin has published a summary on the outcome of the call:

A phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump took place on March 18, 2025.

Reaffirming his commitment to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, President Putin expressed readiness to work closely with American partners on a thorough and comprehensive settlement. He emphasized that any agreement must be sustainable and long-term, addressing the root causes of the crisis while considering Russia’s legitimate security interests.

Regarding President Trump’s initiative for a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side highlighted key concerns, including effective monitoring of the ceasefire across the entire front line, halting forced mobilization in Ukraine, and stopping the rearmament of its military. Russia also noted serious risks due to Kiev’s history of undermining previous agreements and drew attention to terrorist attacks carried out by Ukrainian militants against civilians in the Kursk region.

It was emphasized that a crucial condition for preventing further escalation and working toward a political-diplomatic resolution is the complete cessation of foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

In response to Trump’s recent request to ensure the safety of Ukrainian troops encircled in Kursk Region, Putin confirmed that Russia is guided by humanitarian considerations. He assured his counterpart that Ukrainian soldiers who surrender will be granted safety and treated in accordance with Russian laws and international humanitarian norms.

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.

Putin also responded constructively toTrump’s proposal regarding maritime security in the Black Sea, and both leaders agreed to initiate negotiations to further refine the details of such an arrangement.

Putin informed Trump that on March 19, Russia and Ukraine would conduct a prisoner exchange involving 175 detainees from each side. Additionally, as a goodwill gesture, Russia will transfer 23 severely wounded Ukrainian soldiers who are currently receiving medical treatment in Russian hospitals.

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to continuing efforts toward resolving the Ukraine conflict bilaterally, incorporating the proposals discussed. To facilitate this, Russian and American expert groups will be established.

Putin and Trump also discussed broader international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and the Red Sea region.They agreed to coordinate efforts to stabilize crisis areasand enhance cooperation on nuclear non-proliferation and global security, which, in turn, would improve the overall state of US-Russia relations. A positive example of such cooperation was their joint vote at the United Nations on a resolution regarding the Ukraine conflict.

Both leaders expressed mutual interest in normalizing bilateral relations, recognizing the shared responsibility of Russia and the United States in ensuring global security and stability. In this context, they explored various areas for potential cooperation, including discussions on mutually beneficial economic and energy partnerships.

Trump supported Putin’s idea of organizing hockey matches in the US and Russia between players from the NHL and KHL.

The presidents agreed to remain in contact on all discussed matters.

Kremlin reveals Putin-Trump phone call details

The Russian president has supported Donald Trump’s proposal to halt strikes on energy infrastructure for 30 days, according to the statement

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, held a phone call on Tuesday to discuss efforts toward establishing a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict, the Kremlin has confirmed. The conversation marks the second time the two leaders have had direct talks since Trump returned to office in January.

The Kremlin reported that Putin supported Trump’s proposal for Russia and Ukraine to mutually halt strikes on energy infrastructure for 30 days. He has instructed the military to implement this directive.

“The Russian President also responded constructively to Donald Trump’s ideaof implementing a previously-discussed initiativeconcerning the safety of navigation in the Black Sea”, the statement said, adding that the leaders agreed to begin negotiations on the matter.

The phone call comes after the US unveiled a 30-day ceasefire initiative last week following a meeting with Ukrainian representatives in Saudi Arabia.

Putin has since stated that he is open to the idea of a truce but has demanded that certain key issues be addressed beforehand. These include the fate of Ukrainian troops encircled in Russia’s Kursk Region as well as guarantees that Kiev would not use the truce to rearm and refill its ranks.

Previously,Trump said he expected the phone call with Putin to make significant progress in establishing a ceasefire, stating that they would discuss a number of topics, including “land” and “power plants.”

Putin and Trump’s call on February 12 marked the first time that the leaders of Russia and the US had spoken in years.

It was followed by high-level talks in Saudi Arabia on February 18, where Washington and Moscow agreed to assign teams to work on resolving the Ukraine conflict, restore embassy operations, and address other points of contention in bilateral relations. Since then, additional discussions have been held in Istanbul,focusing on diplomatic funding and a proposal from Moscow to reinstate direct flights.

I think it's pretty clear Roberts has been involved all along to get rid of Trump

Roberts says calls to impeach judges who rule against Trump are not 'appropriate': Hey Chief Justice what about Congress, Judges and Senators calling for Trump’s Impeachment scams? You didn’t talk about that did you?

Chief justice pushes back against calls to impeach judges who rule against Trump

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a statement following President Donald Trump's call for a judge to be impeached for ruling against the administration.

March 18, 2025, 12:09 PM EDT / Updated March 18, 2025, 1:18 PM EDT By Lawrence Hurley

WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement Tuesday rebuking President Donald Trump and his allies for calling to impeach judges who have ruled against the administration.

"For more than two centuries, it has been established thatimpeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose," Roberts said in a statement.

Trump allies have called for various judges to be impeached for blocking administration policies in the first months of his second term. (The appellate process could take years without getting rid of the Destructive Judges, impeach them)

But Trump himself raised the stakes on Tuesday, when he called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg after he blocked the deportation of Venezuelan migrants.

"This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!" Trump posted.'

Soon after Roberts issued his statement, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, wrote in a post on X that he had introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg.

He claimed Boasberg had committed an impeachable offense by issuing a temporary restraining order against the administration over its novel invocation of a war-time law called the Alien Enemies Act to deport certain illegal immigrants.

While a handful of federal judges have been removed from office in the past, it has been because of gross misconduct in office, such as taking bribes, not as a result of individual decisions they have made. (So it’s not gross misconduct or negligence by preventing the President from doing his job and only he can do, by a corrupt judge?)

Federal judges have frequently intervened on Trump's agenda since he took office again in January and implemented a set of aggressive policies that raised several novel legal issues. That has angered the administration and the broader MAGA base, leading to increasingly frequent calls for impeachment and raising concerns within the judiciary.

Just last week, federal judges raised the alarm about security concerns and urged public officials to use caution when criticizing court rulings.

Roberts' statement is not the first time he has publicly clashed with Trump. In 2018, he criticized Trump for singling out an "Obama judge" who had ruled against the administration.

Robert’s (is full of shit)"We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them," Roberts said.

That statement had little impact on Trump, who has continued to use harsh rhetoric against judges.

In the meantime, Roberts has on several occasions played key roles in various Trump dramas. He also presided over the first of two Trump impeachment trials in the Senate, each of which led to acquittals, and in January, he handled Trump's swearing-in as president for the second time.

The White House declined to comment on Roberts’ statement.

AP Withdraws Story Claiming Tulsi Gabbard Said Trump And Putin Were ‘Very Good Friends’

Nicole Silverio March 18, 202511:36 AM ET

The Associated Press (AP) retracted a story Tuesday claiming that U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard publicly referred to President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as “very good friends.”

The outlet withdrew its story titled, “Gabbard Says Trump And Putin Are ‘Very Good Friends’ Focused On Strengthening Ties,” before publishing a correction clarifying that Gabbard was referring to Trump’s friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AP announced.

“This story was updated on Mar. 17, 2025, to delete erroneous reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin “are very good friends,'” the AP wrote in an editor’s note at the bottom of the story. A spokesperson for the AP told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the initial report was removed from their site because “it did not meet [their] standards.” (note below)

After the initial story’s removal, the AP published acorrected story with Gabbard telling NDTVon Monday that Trump is “looking forward to success” ahead of his upcoming call with the Russian president Tuesday afternoon.

“Under the previous administration, during which this war began, there was no effort,there was no effort at all towards peace. There was no effort to have direct dialogue with Putin and with Russia to try to bring about an end to this war. So already in a very short period of time, President Trump has made much more progress towards peace than any effort that has occurred by anyone, previously,” Gabbard told India’s NDTV. “I’m sure that President Trump will have a very productive conversation with Putin, once again, rooted in his unwavering commitment to peace.”

The updated piece then accurately pointed to Gabbard’s statement about the relationship between Trump and Modi.

“With President Trump’s leadership in the United States, of course Prime Minister Modi’s longstanding leadership here in India,we have two leaders of our two great countries who are very good friendsand who are very focused on how we can strengthen those shared objectives and those shared interests,” Gabbard said.

Gabbard’sspokesperson, Alexa Henning, said she contacted both the AP and intelligence and national security reporter David Klepper to demand a correctionon the story. On her personal X account, she referred tothe AP and the legacy media as “maliciously incompetent and purposefully bias[ed].”

“The AP is total trash,” Henning said. “DNI @TulsiGabbard was referring to PM Modi & President Trumpand this is the headline they publish. This is why no one trusts the maliciously incompetent and purposefully bias media. If this isn’t a clear example of pushing a solely political narrative, then nothing is.”

Trump announced in February that negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war were underway following a call with Putin. Ukraine agreed to a U.S.-proposed ceasefire deal that would last 30 days following a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, though the U.S. and Ukraine both await Russia’s response.

–AP saying that the initial report was removed from their site because “it did not meet [their] standards.':

–This is the point they do that on purpose to get the lie out.

–What? those are all left media standards:get a lie out, have millions read it, and post a correction a day or two later, where no one will see that you just lied to.

–It's obvious AP released it on Mar 17th, when Putin and Trump were to talk, but it was pushed back to the 18th; so the AP intended to bias the audience before their phone call

–Hey doesn’t the AP get the majority of their Funding from USAID, has that been cut off?

Politics:Trump Admin Scrubs Biden-Era ‘Firearm Violence’ Advisory From InternetAudrey Streb March 18, 20252:39 PM ET

The Trump administrationremoved a Biden-era surgeon general’s advisory on the public health effects of gun violence and a similar webpage from the Health and Human Services (HHS) website.

Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a public health advisory on “firearm violence,” declaring it to be a “public health crisis” in 2024, though a link to the report was recently scrubbed from the HHS site. The advisory was part of the Biden administration’s broader efforts to usher in additional gun control measures at the federal level.

An HHS spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the agency and the Surgeon General are “complying with President Trump’s executive order on Protecting Second Amendment Rights” by removing the webpage.

A related webpage on gun violence also now shows a “Page Not Found” notice.The 40-page advisory, still accessible via internet archives, outlined the physical and mental health impacts of gun violence and recommended a “public health approach” to combating gun violence.

Murthy argued that since the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) “defined a public health approach to violence prevention” successful “life-saving action[s]” included lower rates in cigarette usage and fewer automobile deaths. The advisory stated that “during an emergency,” the necessary approach to a public health crisis is “continuous and iterative.”

President Donald Trump’s executive order states that“The Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty,” and outlines a “plan of action” that includes examining “all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens.”

Former President Joe Biden called for increased firearm regulations throughout his time in office, advocating for not only a ban on so-called “assault weapons and high-capacity magazines” but also the repeal of civil liability protections for gun makers, which he floated during his first address to Congress in 2022. (The Good News is Bidan never succeeded on banning guns, that he’s been pushing for 50 years.)

“I signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to keep guns out of dangerous hands, and have taken more executive action than any President in history to keep communities safe,”Biden said in a 2023 statement when he established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, to be overseen by former Vice President Kamala Harris. “But as I’ve said before – while these are important steps, they are just the first steps toward what is needed.”

Critics of Biden’s gun policies have often pointed to a lack of correlation between legal gun ownership and gun violence.

In his Feb. 7 executive order, Trump ordered the review of all federal “orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies,” including all “presidential actions” during Biden’s term, to identify “ongoing infringements” of Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

If judges says "likely" violated, that doesn't seem like a term a judge would use.

They could say "most likely", but it's just guessing saying "likely" imo
