The United States does not oppose a truce in the Black Sea, but rather favors a broader settlement of the war in Ukraine, Reuters reports. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there is growing international interest in a limited ceasefire in the Black Sea that would allow the safe supply of grain and energy from Russia and Ukraine. According to him, Washington is considering proposals from Turkey and India to resume grain supplies. In particular, the cessation of attacks on ships transporting grain and energy resources is being discussed. "This threatens global food security, and to some extent energy security as well," Rubio said regarding the attacks on shipping. At the same time, the United States continues to insist on a broader negotiated settlement to the war. "We want to achieve this (a Black Sea truce - ed.). It won't end the war, but at least it will solve one specific aspect of the problem," the Secretary of State said. We remind you that Ukraine, as well as Turkey, are in favor of stopping the fire at sea. At the same time, Russia insists on a broader settlement that would completely stop the war.
