Part 2/7:
In the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his support for the development, acknowledging the role of the United States in brokering the agreement. However, he raised concerns surrounding the enforcement of the deal, highlighting its significance as a series of initial agreements that need to be maintained to prevent collapse. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for the details of the negotiations to remain intact to facilitate a lasting peace.
The Kremlin responded with a reminder that the deal's success heavily relies on the West's approach to sanctions affecting Russian food and fertilizer exports. The U.S. has committed to facilitating these sanctions, but Zelenskyy clarified that the agreement does not stipulate any required sanctions relief.
