Group journalists write about this Reuters naming four sources.
The source also reports that Kyiv pulled out of the negotiation process at the last minute. The reason for this behavior remains a mystery.
According to the draft agreement, Kyiv and Moscow promised to provide security guarantees to all merchant ships that will be in the Black Sea. These ships could not be attacked or captured if they were empty or if they were carrying non-military goods.

From 2022, the Russian Federation has taken control of shipping in the Black Sea. In the summer of 2022, Turkey and the UN were able to create a “grain corridor”, but a year later the Russian Federation withdrew from this agreement.
Immediately after this, Ukraine destroyed half of the Russian fleet and buried Putin’s dreams of supremacy in the Black Sea.
While Ankara proposed to conclude a new agreement with the participation of the Russian Federation, Kyiv found a working situation along the Danube.
