The Kremlin appears to have emerged victorious from a call with US President Donald Trump.  

Russia's agreed to pause firing on energy and critical infrastructure and continue discussions about a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea. 

It's a clear deviation from Trump's goal going into talks – of Russia agreeing to a full 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine. 

Otago University International Relations Professor Robert Patman told Andrew Dickens that Trump hasn’t put that much pressure on Putin. 

He says all the concessions have been from Ukraine, and Trump has already pre-emptively given away bargaining concessions to Russia.
