Russia’s Foreign Ministry rejects truce with Ukraine in Black Sea
Russia’s Foreign Ministry stated it “sees no grounds” for a mutual truce with Ukraine in the Black Sea.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has dismissed a proposed truce with Ukraine in the Black Sea, stating it "sees no grounds" for such an agreement. Maria Zakharova, the ministry’s spokesperson, made the remark in response to a query about Turkey’s suggestion for a ceasefire in the region. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had urged Russia and Ukraine to establish a mechanism for declaring a Black Sea cease-fire.
Zakharova cited Russian encounters with "brazen acts of terrorism" by Ukrainian military drones targeting civilian ships. She further remarked that the ongoing situation shows no signs of improvement, hence dismissing half-measures that merely provide temporary relief to the Ukrainian regime. Just a day before, the Reuters agency reported that Ukraine had proposed a truce on mutual basis for halting strikes on civilian targets in the Black Sea.
The proposal was reportedly passed to Moscow through an intermediary, but no response has been received yet.
