Russia and Ukraine agree to avoid military ships in the Black Sea / Day

The White House announcements on the individual negotiations with Ukraine and Russia say that each country « agreed to ensure safe shipping, prevent the use of force and prevent commercial ships for military purposes in the Black Sea ».

The United States will also help to restore Russia’s access to the global agricultural and fertilizers’ export market, reduce marine insurance costs and improve access to ports and payment systems for such transactions.

The US is developing measures to prevent strikes of Russian and Ukrainian energy objects, which are agreed by both Russia and Ukraine.

The United States and Ukraine agreed that the United States was still committed to promoting the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of civilians and the return of Ukrainian children to forced.

The United States and Ukraine also welcome third countries to meet energy and maritime agreements.

« The US and Ukraine will continue to work to achieve lasting and lasting peace, » the White House said.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky has announced that, following the talks in Saudi Arabia, the US delegation has some agreement with Ukraine and the US Party’s individual agreements with Russian representatives.

« First of all, we agreed that there may be silence and free navigation at sea, » Zelensky emphasized.

The second point of agreement is that the energy system is not affected. Both Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, the Ukrainian side handed over the list of objects in the US, which Kijiva sees as a strategic infrastructure.

According to the President, Ukraine raised the issue of the protection of civil infrastructure, but it was not included in the statement.

« But we have agreed on it. The American side believes that in principle silence in the sky – yes, for energy, it also applies to another civil infrastructure. But it is already a good result if there is no impact on energy.

He named control and supervision as the third point of agreement.

« We have agreed with the American side that it is possible to involve not only America but also third parties. This is not a bad thing. For example, someone from Europe or Turkey. We can involve one of the Middle East at sea, » Zelensky said.

At the same time, according to the US proposal, the fourth paragraph of agreement refers to the fact that everyone will work to result in sustainable peace.

« We say once again that we are ready to move quickly towards an unconditional ceasefire. Then, for the next steps, for sustainable and fair peace, » said Zelensky.

The fifth point in Ukraine’s announcements on the agreement with the United States and the US with Russia is different.

« As far as we know, the Russians have raised the question that the American side will help Russians transport their agricultural production. So it’s a question of ports, tariffs and the like. We did not want it to be included in our joint document.

As Zelensky pointed out, even a partial ceasefire in the sky and the sea does not apply to the abolition of certain obstacles to Russians for agricultural products.

In addition, Ukraine insists on the return of deported and kidnapped children, to the exchange of prisoners of war and civilians.

As Zelensky explained, the energy agreement applies to everything related to it.

« We will not touch their energy. They do not touch our energy. I think there will be a million questions and details, but today it sounds like that each side does not use appropriate weapons against the energy of both sides, » Zelensky emphasized.

Speaking of silence in the sea, he added that freight was needed. Free navigation of civil vessels should be ensured.

« These are the first steps. And we’ll see how it will work, » Zelensky said.

Zelensky emphasized that the statements did not mention anything about what will happen if this partial ceasefire was violated.

« If we see someone breaking it, we believe that we are approaching all our lines to the American side with these facts and evidence that the Russian side has violated it, » said Zelensky.

The Kremlin, on the other hand, stated that shipping safety agreements would come into force after part of the restrictions on Russia would be canceled.

First of all, the cancellation of sanctions on « Rosseļhozbank » and other financial organizations involved in providing international food, including fish products and fertilizers trade operations, connecting them to Swift and opening the necessary correspondent accounts.

Canceling sanctions for food and fertilizers manufacturers and exporters.
