Hello.
It's 1,126 days since Russia began its full scale invasion of Ukraine.
And talks to try to bring about some kind of peace in Ukraine have ended in Riyadh.
Vitaly,
we are recording on Tuesday afternoon here in the uk and we've just got a statement in from the White House.
In fact,
two separate statements following talks between America and Russia and talks between America and Ukraine.
Both say that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to ensure the safe navigation and eliminate the use of force in the Black Sea.
So it's a Black Sea, A maritime ceasefire?
A Black Sea ceasefire, yes.
However, I'd really like to hear that from Russia, not the United States.
We're recording it shortly after half past 3.
UK time.
Nothing from Russia yet.
Okay, then,
second paragraph in the statement about talks between America and Russia says
that the United States will help 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.
