The US is looking for a ceasefire in the Black Sea, but wants a bigger deal on Ukraine. Reuters US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced growing international interest in a limited ceasefire in the Black Sea. We are talking about security guarantees for merchant ships transporting grain and energy resources from Russia and Ukraine. Washington is considering relevant initiatives from Turkey and India. According to Rubio, attacks on commercial shipping pose a threat to global food and energy security. The US side would like to see an end to attacks on ships to restore safe maritime transport. "We would like to achieve that. It won't end the war, but it will solve at least one specific aspect of the problem," said the US Secretary of State. At the same time, Washington does not intend to limit itself to a naval truce and continues to insist on a full settlement of the conflict through negotiations. According to Reuters, the Black Sea ceasefire initiative is supported by Ukraine and Turkey, while Russia is advocating for a broader agreement that would end the conflict entirely. Ostashko!
