After three days of negotiations mediated by the U.S., Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement to suspend attacks on each other's energy infrastructures and cease hostilities in the Black Sea. This marks the first significant development in peace talks since July 2022, though its effectiveness hinges on the lifting of Western sanctions on Russian agriculture. The U.S. has committed to monitor compliance with this agreement, which is also linked to fulfilling Russia's financial needs in the agricultural sector. Doubts regarding the deal's implementation remain amid ongoing economic and military tensions.
The agreement reached between Russia and Ukraine is poised to halt attacks on energy infrastructure and is contingent on the lifting of Western sanctions.
Significantly, the Kremlin has conditioned the deal on lifting sanctions affecting its agricultural sector, highlighting the entwined nature of conflict and economic pressures.
