Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the Kremlin is lying when it claims the Black Sea ceasefire will not take effect without the lifting of Western sanctions against Russia.
"Unfortunately, even now, even today, on the very day of the negotiations, we see how the Russians have already started to manipulate," he said, writes A2 CNN.
"They are already trying to distort the agreements and, in fact, deceive our mediators and the whole world," Zelensky added.
The Ukrainian leader added that if they launch attacks, there will be a strong response.
He said the ceasefire came into effect immediately after the US announcement earlier today.
But Moscow said this depends on sanctions against companies involved in food and fertilizer exports.
Meanwhile, the US said it has agreed to "help restore Russia's access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, reduce maritime insurance costs, and improve access to ports and payment systems for such transactions." (A2 Televizion)
