In a massive development, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea.
The aim is to ensure safe navigation and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes.
This agreement seeks to reopen crucial sea routes for the export of grain and other goods.
This is effects trade for the rest of us.
While the truce marks a positive step, both parties remain cautious.
Could this ceasefire pave the way for more peace negotiations?

NBC News reports:
The White House said Tuesday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire in the Black Sea and to implement a ban on attacks on energy facilities by the two neighbors, an apparent breakthrough after American negotiators held separate talks with both countries.
If implemented, the agreements could mark a major step toward a wider deal to end the three-year-long war, which began when Russia launched a largescale invasion of its smaller neighbor.
Negotiators had agreed both countries would “ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea,” the White House said in two separate statements.
Both statements also said that Russia and Ukraine would stop striking each other’s energy facilities.
While the statements were similarly worded, one about the talks with the Kremlin said the U.S. would help to “restore Russia’s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions.”
This Russia Ukraine war is long over due to end.
Won’t be long until it is revealed what Ukraine is concealing.
