“The United States has repeated President Donald J. Trump's orders, where killings on both sides of the Russian-Ukraine conflict are a necessary step to achieving a lasting peaceful settlement,” the White House said.
Ukraine and Russia have “consent to ensure safe voyages, eliminate the use of force and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea,” and at the same time, according to a White House reading, they have formulated measures “prohibiting strikes against energy facilities in Russia and Ukraine.”
Russia said in its readout consultation with the US that the agreement will last for 30 days, “the possibility of extensions and withdrawals from the contract in case of non-compliance by any of the parties.”
The White House also agreed to have a deal with Russia and lift sanctions on Russian businesses as long as the Black Sea ceasefire is in effect.
“The US will help Russia restore access to global markets for agricultural and fertilizer exports, reduce maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions,” the read continued.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Voldimia Zelensky said that if any country feels that the other country has broken the deal, it should take up issues with the US to resolve the conflict.
“It is important to have additional technical consultations as soon as possible to agree to all details and technical aspects of implementation, monitoring and management of the arrangement for effective implementation of the arrangement,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said.
“The Ukrainian side emphasizes that all Russian movements in Russia constitute a violation of the spirit of the Agreement, and is considered a violation of its commitment to ensure a safe voyage of the Black Sea and a threat to Ukraine's national security,” Weeloff continued. “In this case, Ukraine would have the full right to exercise its right to defend itself.”
White House officials further emphasized that they are “still committed to helping to exchange prisoners, release of civil detainees and achieve return of forced Ukrainian children.”
