Recent talks involving the United States, Ukraine, and Russia have resulted in an agreement for a ceasefire in the Black Sea, as confirmed by the White House. The deal aims to eliminate the use of force and includes a ban on energy attacks in the region. Both sides, however, remain cautious, with the Kremlin indicating that any new agreements will come after certain sanctions are lifted. Despite the positive developments, reports suggest that discussions continue to face challenges, and a joint statement from the involved parties has yet to be reached. The situation remains fluid as Ukraine expresses a desire for a full ceasefire, while Russia seeks further involvement from the United Nations in the ongoing negotiations.
