Russia-Ukraine war: Temporary ceasefire deal signed, Kremlin demands sanctions relief
A temporary ceasefire deal has been signed between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides agreeing to halt military strikes on vessels in the Black Sea. Russia has approved the ceasefire terms but is demanding sanctions relief, particularly in the agriculture sector, and an end to shipping bans on Russian vessels. Ukraine’s President Zelensky expressed scepticism about Russia’s commitment to the agreement, suggesting the US may need to exert more pressure on Russia.
