Russia and Ukraine reached a naval ceasefire agreement in the Black Sea after US-brokered talks in Saudi Arabia. The deal aims to reopen trade routes and prevent attacks on energy infrastructure. However, Russia insists the ceasefire will only take effect if sanctions on its food and fertilizer exports are lifted. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the move but called Russia’s demands a “weakening of positions.” The US pledged to help restore Russia’s agricultural exports, while Ukraine warned of retaliation if Russian warships violate territorial boundaries. The ceasefire’s implementation remains uncertain. (PC: Getty Images)
