text: Quick breakdown of the Kremlin readout of Trump's call with Putin. It doesn't look like Putin is prepared to give any ground on his maximalist positions.
  
  – Putin stressed that Russia’s “key condition to stop the conflict from escalating” and moving towards a settlement would be a “total end to foreign military support and intelligence sharing with Kyiv.” Ukraine thinks any deal like this would leave it vulnerable to future attack.
  
  – There's no indication Putin has dropped any of his maximalist goals. Any deal must “take into account the unconditional necessity to remove the initial reasons for the crisis and Russia’s legal security interests.” That means effectively ending Ukraine's independence and the post-Cold War security architecture in Europe.
  
  – Putin hasn't agreed to Trump's proposal for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, which Ukraine has. Instead he pointed to a “series of significant issues” about how a ceasefire would be enforced and “serious risks” about whether Ukraine would adhere to it.
  
  – Putin did agree to Trump's proposals for a moratorium on strikes on energy infrastructure and a maritime security initiative in the Black Sea. But Ukraine and Russia have reached agreements on that before, even though they've broken down.
  
  – Ukraine is just one topic amid Russia's broader goal of normalizing relations with the US. They discussed a “broad spectrum of directions” where the US and Russia could cooperate further, including “mutually beneficial partnership in economics and energy.”
  
  – Russia and the US will work together on other issues like the Middle East. There will be “joint efforts to stabilize the situation in crisis zones,” as well as “establishing cooperation” on nuclear non-proliferation and global security.
  
  – The US and Russia are going to host hockey matches with NHL and KHL players. That would do a lot to end Russia's sporting isolation after invading Ukraine.
