The United States is considering the possibility of a local ceasefire in the Black Sea, but at the same time advocates a broader settlement of the war in Ukraine, reports Reuters. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington supports proposals by Turkey and India to resume grain supplies through the Black Sea routes. In particular, the cessation of attacks on ships transporting grain and energy resources is discussed. "It threatens the food security of the world, and to a certain extent also the energy security. We would like to achieve this (respite in the Black Sea). It won't end the war, but at least it will solve one specific aspect of the problem," Rubio said. Is the problem with the refinery attacks solved yet, Rubio?
