Russia and Ukraine agree naval ceasefire in Black Sea

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea and to suspend strikes on energy sites in separate deals with the U.S. as a result of three days of talks in Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand, with a distinct lack of trust between Moscow and Kyiv, both sides said they would rely on Washington to enforce the deals.

After the U.S. announcements, the Kremlin said the Black Sea agreements would only come into effect if a number of sanctions against its agricultural export bank were lifted.
