Kremlin agrees to deal if the US helps with sanctions relief on agricultural exports
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a Black Sea ceasefire after negotiations mediated by the US in Saudi Arabia. The agreement aims to ensure safe navigation and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes. While Ukraine stated the truce was effective immediately, Russia says it will only come into force after conditions are met, including sanctions relief on agricultural exports. Both countries will rely on Washington to enforce the agreement.
