Russia says it will stop fighting in Ukraine in the Black sea. It's said that before. [View all]

As President Donald Trump pushes for a speedy end to Russia's war in Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine struck agreements with the United States on Tuesday to pause fighting on the Black Sea, which borders both countries and contains key shipping routes.

Freezing fighting in the sea has been a goal of the international community from the beginning, but Russia pulled out of a similar deal struck before and it remains unclear whether this one will last.

After days of U.S.-led separate negotiations in Saudi Arabia – with Russia on Monday, and with Ukraine on Sunday – the warring countries agreed to the maritime ceasefire on Tuesday, which will allow commercial ships from both nations to pass.

Russia also said it will hold to a promise President Vladimir Putin made to Trump not to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
