Putin agrees to 30-day halt on energy facility strikes, Ukraine signals support
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Tuesday to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for a month-long halt to strikes against energy infrastructure in Ukraine, a limited ceasefire that Kyiv quickly said it would be willing to consider. Talks aimed at advancing toward a broader peace plan will begin immediately, the White House said following a lengthy call between the two leaders, but it was unclear whether Ukraine will be involved. Putin ordered the Russian military to stop attacks against energy sites after speaking with Trump, the Kremlin said in a statement. But he again raised concerns during the call that a temporary ceasefire might allow Ukraine to mobilize more soldiers and rearm itself. Putin also emphasized that any resolution of the conflict would require an end to all military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine, the Kremlin added. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his country would consider supporting the U.S. proposal to stop strikes on energy infrastructure. "I think it will be right that we will have a conversation with President Trump and we will know in detail what the Russians offered the Americans or what the Americans offered the Russians," Zelenskiy told reporters during an online briefing. Negotiations on a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, as well as a more complete ceasefire and a permanent peace deal, will commence immediately in the Middle East, the White House said in a statement, though it did not say whether Ukraine would be invited. The White House's statement in full Today, President Trump and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace. They also stressed the need for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war would be better spent on the needs of their people. This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East. The leaders spoke broadly about the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure the broadest possible application. The two leaders shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel. The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia has huge upside. This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved. Kremlin's statement on possible 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure Here's a snippet of that statement: "During the conversation, Donald Trump proposed that parties to the conflict should mutually refrain from strikes on energy infrastructure facilities for 30 days. Vladimir Putin responded positively to this initiative and immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order. "The Russian President also responded constructively to Donald Trump’s suggestion to implement a well-known initiative concerning the safety of navigation in the Black Sea. It was agreed that negotiations to further elaborate the specific details of such an agreement should begin." Based on a report by Reuters | BBC 2025-03-19 -

Teenager Killed After High-Speed Chase with Trang Police, Family Raises Concerns
Picture from responders. A high-speed police chase in Trang Province ended in tragedy when a motorcycle carrying two young men lost control and crashed. The incident, which occurred after police pursued the pair for over five kilometres, resulted in the death of 30-year-old Theerapong Sopon, while the bike rider, Thanakrit Sarakun 19, sustained critical injuries. The crash happened on a curved section of the road in Na Talung subdistrict, Mueang Trang district, when the motorcycle reportedly veered off the road while attempting to evade a police checkpoint. According to initial forensic examinations, Theerapong suffered severe trauma, including bruising around his eyes, and is believed to have died from a broken neck. However, what has raised serious concerns among his relatives is the discovery of handcuff marks on his wrists. At around 10:30 on 18 March, Police Lieutenant Narachai Kaewnu of Trang City Police Station received reports of the crash in front of a residence on Moo 4, Na Talung subdistrict. Investigations revealed that the motorcycle, registered in Chonburi, attempted to escape a police checkpoint set up on Ton Pring-Nong Trut Road near a local driving school. Officers pursued the fleeing vehicle for over five kilometres, until the chase ended in a deadly crash after the bike lost control when a car approached from the opposite direction. Thanakrit, the driver, suffered severe injuries and was rushed to Trang Hospital, while Theerapong, the passenger, was pronounced dead at the scene. While the initial medical report suggested the fatal injuries were caused by a high-impact collision, Theerapong’s family is demanding further investigation after noticing restraint marks on his wrists. “The police must clarify what really happened. How could there be handcuff marks if he died from a crash?” a family member stated. The deceased, a lorry driver, leaves behind an eight-year-old son, currently studying in Primary Year 2. Trang police have pledged a thorough investigation to ensure justice for all parties. Authorities have also confirmed that discussions are underway regarding possible compensation for the family. “The case is being carefully examined. We will review all evidence, including CCTV footage and witness testimonies, to establish the facts,” an official spokesperson said. As the investigation continues, the incident has reignited public debate over police pursuit tactics and accountability in high-speed chases. -- 2025-03-19 -

Object Explodes at Scrapyard, Killing One and Seriously Injuring Four
Pictures from responders. Possible second explosive device at scene. An explosion rocked a scrapyard in Nakhon Ratchasima province during the morning of 18 March, leaving one person dead and four others seriously injured. Authorities are investigating the cause of the blast, which is believed to have been triggered by an unidentified explosive device. The incident occurred at approximately 08:30, in Ban Non Si Thong, Moo 14, Udomsap Subdistrict, Wang Nam Khiao District, when workers were unloading scrap materials from a pickup truck parked in front of the shop. The truck, a Toyota with a Buriram registration plate, bore a sticker reading “Saijai Recycling.” As the scrap was being moved, a sudden and violent explosion sent the workers flying in different directions, leaving them lying injured in pools of blood. One man was killed instantly, suffering catastrophic blast injuries, including the loss of his arms and severe burns to his face. The other four victims, two men and twowomen, sustained critical injuries and were rushed to Wang Nam Khiao Hospital for emergency treatment. Police from Udomsap Police Station, along with explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) units, forensic teams from the Scientific Crime Detection Division 3, and rescue volunteers from Hook 31 Korat, responded swiftly to the scene. Upon arrival, authorities cordoned off the area to conduct an initial investigation and ensure public safety. Disturbingly, an additional unexploded device resembling a grenade was discovered at the site. Bomb disposal experts neutralised any remaining threats. According to early reports, residents of Ban Non Si Thong claimed that scrap collectors had unknowingly brought in old explosive ordnance to extract metal for resale. While this practice is not uncommon in Thailand, it is highly dangerous, as unexploded munitions can remain volatile for decades. Authorities have yet to confirm the exact nature of the device that detonated. The EOD team is currently examining the remnants of the explosion to determine whether it was a discarded military explosive, a homemade device, or industrial ordnance. The area was sealed off as investigators gathered forensic evidence and interviewed witnesses. Officials have urged scrap collectors and recycling businesses to exercise extreme caution when handling unidentified metal objects, particularly those that could be remnants of explosive devices. The incident has raised fresh concerns over the dangers of unregulated scrap collection in Thailand, where abandoned ordnance from past conflicts or military use occasionally resurfaces in unsuspecting hands. -- 2025-03-19
