According to a report, Russia have agreed to a Black Sea ceasefire agreement if some sanctions are lifted. Reportedly, the u.s. who are committed to helping return forcibly removed ukrainian children said they were looking in to the russian request to lift sanctions and have agreed to help to restore their access to global markets for farm products, lower maritime insurance costs and increase access to ports and payments systems for transactions. According to the report, sanctions possibly lifted include russian trade ships and under the Black Sea ceasefire, Russia will again be able to export agricultural products.
Reportedly, Ukraine’s defence minister said any movement by russian military vessels outside the eastern part of the Black Sea will constitute a violation of the spirit of the agreement.
