Moscow to Kyiv via Washington
Hindustan TimesThe US-brokered agreement between Russia and Ukraine to halt military strikes on commercial shipping in the Black Sea and to pause attacks on energy infrastructure represents a glimmer of hope after more than three years of war triggered by Moscow’s military aggression in February 2022. For several weeks, the US has held separate talks with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators to hammer out an agreement in keeping with President Donald Trump’s pledge to speedily end the war. Russia was at a disadvantage in the Black Sea because of Ukraine’s tactical attacks with drones, and analysts have questioned whether the understanding on this region provides concessions to Moscow without getting anything significant in return. Already, the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has suffered a massive setback because of Washington’s inability to hold Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his promises, and this will undoubtedly lead to concerns on whether Trump will be able to get Putin to deliver on the terms of a ceasefire agreement.
