00:00The U.S. has announced that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea
00:04following three days of talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:08In separate but nearly identical statements, the White House confirmed Kiev and Moscow
00:11will ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent commercial vessels
00:16from being used for military purposes.
00:19Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustam Umerov clarified Kiev's position, warning that any movement
00:24of Russian military vessels outside the Eastern Black Sea would violate the agreement.
00:29Meanwhile, senior Russian official Grigory Karasin described the talks as very interesting,
00:34difficult but quite constructive.
00:36Both countries also pledged to develop measures to ban strikes against energy facilities.
00:42These discussions did not involve direct talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials.
00:47While the U.S. committed to helping Ukraine secure prison exchange, civilian releases,
00:52and the return of forcibly transferred children, it promised Moscow assistance in restoring
00:56access to global markets for agricultural and fertilizer exports.
01:00Questions remain about the deal's significance as Russia no longer holds a military grip
01:04in the Black Sea and the Romanian corridor already ensures safe passage for civilian
01:09cargo ships.
