  • The White House said Tuesday that both Ukraine and Russia have agreed to stop using force in the Black Sea in separate meetings with US officials in Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. State Department has announced that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to cease using force in the Black Sea, aiming to de-escalate tensions in the region. This agreement comes after months of heightened military activities and confrontations, particularly following Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. The U.S. has been actively involved in diplomatic efforts to stabilize the area, with this latest development seen as a step towards reducing the risk of unintended clashes at sea. The agreement includes commitments from both nations to avoid provocative military actions and to ensure safe navigation for commercial shipping. However, the specifics of the agreement, such as enforcement mechanisms or verification processes, were not detailed in the announcement.
