Russia's Ultimatum - Why Zelenskyy Won't Let Russia Control the Black Sea - UATV English
Russia has agreed "in principle" to a ceasefire in the Black Sea—but only under certain conditions. Moscow demands that the West lift sanctions on Russian financial institutions and reconnect them to the global SWIFT system. In exchange, Russia promises to halt attacks on shipping routes. But does Putin really intend to keep his word?
Also in the video is a recap for you: In a landmark move, Ukraine has provided the U.S. with a detailed list of energy sites in Russia and Ukraine that should be off-limits during the ongoing conflict. This agreement, aimed at establishing a partial ceasefire, focuses on halting attacks on power plants, oil refineries, and gas pipelines for 30 days. But does Russia intend to honor the deal?
