On Tuesday, the United States reached deals with Ukraine and Russia on a truce in the Black Sea and a pause in attacks on energy facilities, with Washington also pledging to push for the lifting of some financial sanctions against Moscow.
The agreements are the first formal commitments by the sides since the inauguration of Donald Trump, who is pushing for an end to the war.
The US agreement with Russia goes further than the agreement with Ukraine, with Washington committing to help seek the lifting of international sanctions on Russian agriculture and fertilizer exports, long a persistent Russian demand.
