By Guy Faulconbridge MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia said on Tuesday the United States had agreed to help it lift a series of Western sanctions and restrictions on food, fertiliser and shipping companies as preconditions for a maritime security deal in the Black Sea.

The article from MSN discusses an agreement between Russia and the United States to facilitate the lifting of restrictions on food, fertilizers, and shipping, aimed at addressing global food security issues exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This deal comes in the context of broader international efforts to mitigate the impact of sanctions on global food supplies. Russia, a significant exporter of wheat and fertilizers, had its exports affected by Western sanctions, which indirectly impacted food prices and availability worldwide. The agreement involves the U.S. agreeing to help lift some of these curbs, not as a direct sanction relief but as part of a broader initiative to ensure that food and fertilizers can reach global markets, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, where food insecurity has been rising. This move is part of a delicate diplomatic balancing act, where the U.S. aims to support global food security while maintaining pressure on Russia over its actions in Ukraine.
