Over the past few days in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, diplomats and negotiators from the U.S. have been meeting (separately) with their Russian and Ukrainian counterparts. Today, the White House announced, in a pair of statements, that all three nations are in agreement on several items:
The countries have agreed “to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea,” they have agreed to “develop measures for implementing … [the] agreement to ban strikes against energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine,” and they have agreed to “continue working toward achieving a durable and lasting peace.”
