US and Ukraine announce Black Sea truce, contingent on Kremlin’s sanctions relief conditions.

In Short

The US announced a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea, contingent on Russia lifting certain sanctions.

Both sides have committed to observing the truce, yet achieving a complete ceasefire remains uncertain, with potential future concessions from Russia.

The United States announced that Russia and Ukraine have reached a ceasefire agreement in the Black Sea, conditioned on the removal of specific sanctions by the Kremlin.

The agreement emerged from three days of technical talks in Saudi Arabia, focusing on ensuring safe navigation in the Black Sea and preventing military use of commercial shipping. The US pledged assistance in restoring Russian access to global agricultural markets and reducing maritime insurance costs.

President Donald Trump noted that conditions from the Kremlin would be considered, particularly regarding sanctions on banks involved in agricultural exports. The truce would take effect upon lifting restrictions on the Russian Agricultural Bank and others, tying them to the SWIFT international payment system.

Ukrainian forces

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced an immediate observance of the truce by Ukrainian forces. The two sides also agreed on mechanisms to enforce a ban on attacks against energy infrastructure, effective for 30 days.

While the talks advanced some agreements, achieving a full ceasefire remains challenging, as Russia may seek to extract further concessions from the US.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov expressed confidence in US support for compliance with the agreements. However, full ceasefire timelines proposed by the Trump administration appear overly ambitious to some officials.

Zelenskiy confirmed Ukraine’s commitment to a full ceasefire, highlighting the contrast between Ukraine’s intentions and Russia’s position.

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

In Short

A missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed 12 and injured 90, prompting Trump to urge Putin for a peace deal amid escalating tensions.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but ongoing strikes and unacceptable Russian conditions raise concerns over future peace negotiations.

In a recent missile and drone attack on Kyiv, 12 individuals were killed and 90 injured, marking the most severe air assault this year.

U.S. President Trump responded by urging Russian President Putin to halt attacks and pursue a peace agreement. He expressed concern over the loss of life, highlighting that 5,000 soldiers perish weekly.

The attack involved over 200 missiles and drones and targeted critical Ukrainian industries. Trump’s frustration has increased as peace talks stagnate, with him also critiquing Ukrainian President Zelensky for dismissing a peace proposal that would legally recognise Russian control over Crimea.

Peace deadline

Despite Trump’s previous reluctance to criticise Putin, the attack shifted his stance. He has signaled a deadline for both Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal while the U.S. contemplates the extent of its involvement in negotiations.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but Russia’s conditions remain unacceptable to Kyiv. A recent U.S. proposal would allow Russia to retain substantial territory and would limit Ukraine’s NATO aspirations.

Zelensky accused Russian forces of terrorism, attacking civilian areas and inciting widespread destruction, while Trump acknowledged the challenges of restoring Crimea to Ukraine.

The situation continues to escalate, with ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure, drawing international attention and condemnation. As rescue workers clear debris from the latest attack, uncertainties remain about the future of peace talks and the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
