The United States said that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea after three days of talks in Saudi Arabia.

In its remarks, the White House said that both nations had agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea. As per the new deal, the White House said it would help restore access to the world market for Russian agricultural and fertiliser exports.

In a statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that they first agreed that there could be silence at sea and free navigation. The second point is to stop attacks on the energy system. He praised the talks as the early right steps toward a peaceful settlement of the 3-year-old war. U.S. President Donald Trump said the US is making a lot of progress in restoring peace between the two nations.
