Parallel talks and parallel statements: Ukraine and Russia both say they’ve agreed with the US to stop fighting in the Black Sea – but there are significant differences.
The Kremlin said it would only honour the truce if some sanctions were lifted against its state agriculture bank – and international food and fertilizer trade. Ukraine said it would work with the US to secure the return of detainees and forcibly transferred Ukrainian children.
This evening the Kremlin published an agreed list of Russian and Ukrainian energy facilities covered by the 30 day moratorium on strikes.
