Delegations from Ukraine and the United States held brief discussions in Saudi Arabia following a successful round of talks between US and Russian officials. The negotiations, deemed "useful" by Russia, focused on establishing a ceasefire in the Black Sea, fostering safe navigation, and preventing militarization of commercial vessels. US Defence Minister Rustem Umerov confirmed that both parties have agreed to avoid military strikes in the region. Despite this breakthrough, Ukraine cautioned that the presence of Russian warships beyond the eastern Black Sea could breach the recently established agreement.
"The White House said the talks had been successful at reaching a deal to 'ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea.'"},{
