The United States is not opposed to a truce in the Black Sea, but in favor of a broader settlement of the war in Ukraine, Reuters reports. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there was growing international interest in a limited ceasefire in the Black Sea that would allow secure supplies of grain and energy from Russia and Ukraine. According to him, Washington is considering offers from Turkey and India to renew the supply of grain. In particular, the cessation of attacks on ships transporting grain and energy resources is discussed. "It threatens global food security and, to a certain extent, energy security," Rubio said, referring to attacks on shipping. At the same time, the United States continues to insist on a broader negotiated settlement to the war. "We would like to achieve this (respite on the Black Sea - ed.). It won't end the war, but at least it will solve one specific aspect of the problem." said the Secretary of State. We remind you that Ukraine, as well as Turkey, is in favor of the ceasefire at sea. At the same time, Russia is insisting on a broader settlement that would stop the war altogether.
