The White House has released a statement on the agreement reached between the U.S. and Russia. According to the statement, hostilities in the Black Sea are to cease, giving Russia the opportunity to return its warships to the Sevastopol base in Crimea, from which they were expelled after Ukrainian drone and missile attacks. Trump will lift the sanctions that had blocked the sale of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers, opening a new revenue stream for the Kremlin's coffers. A ceasefire against energy facilities will also take effect, prohibiting Ukraine from continuing to attack and destroy Russia’s pipelines and key oil refineries, which represent the main source of revenue to finance the Russian invasion. In short, a day of great achievements for Putin at the negotiating table.
