Will Russia hold up its end of a partial ceasefire deal? | DW News

The US has made separate agreements with Ukraine and Russia to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea and to implement a ban on strikes against energy facilities. Moscow said its discussions with the US in Saudi Arabia focused mainly on a new ceasefire deal in the Black Sea - an important export route for Russia AND for Ukraine. Moscow said it required guarantees from Washington that Ukraine would respect a maritime ceasefire. Kyiv said it had agreed to a ceasefire at sea AND a halt on attacks on energy infrustructure. For some analysis we spoke to Jonas Driedger from the research center 'Transformations of Political Violence.'

It would be a good start toward peace.

[IvanChernobyl]

Sounds like it's time to find out when this week's meeting of the EU unwilling takes place so they can plan next week's meeting like they planned the last 3 months. EU willing to have meetings in the EU. In the meantime thousands of ukrainians are gone this week.

[andrewhudson]

How does this benefit Ukraine? The Russians were too scared to leave port anyway…

[wakarimasen-yu]

Since when Russia agreed to a ceasefire unconditionally?

[eprofessio]

What a joke. The Russians lost many ships. They aren’t ceasing anything.

Betteridge's law of headlines: If a headline ends with a question mark, the answer is always no.

[akrammirani]

Europeans are sad because war is stopping gradually. So sad.

[onyiiilo]

Western media!!! this question should be for Ukraine!

[PeterMayer]

Of course, Russia won't hold up their end of the deal they never have with anybody.

[StephenThuggin]

Russia has honored exactly 0 ceasefires in the past. What could go wrong?

[hegemonersmith]

Please get a REAL expert on next time. Not this very poorly-cited individual.

[SqrPeg-mn]

This, if true, is a major breakthrough. Salut.

[lovyrituraj]

What is nato going to so anyway ? Nothing

[MrEndless]

Russia will not honor any deals or treaty...

[justinlucas]

Taiwan is more beautiful than China, and it is butter

[penzorphallos]

Will ukraine also respect the ceasefire? After the second Minsk peace accords about the donbass, neither sides including ukrainians ever respected the ceasefire.

[jhK-hwvn]

This only shows how insignificant EU is since all they like to do is talk and more talk.

[destructiveanalytics]

I have a question. Why are aspects important to Europe being discussed without Europe's participation? And a Middle Eastern country that has no relation to Europe has been chosen as the venue for the negotiations.

[robh]

Ukraine didn't keep their promises.

[jaypratt]

It is so hard for Germany to admit Trump is doing well. The war will be over soon.
