United States President Donald Trump has said his administration is "considering" Russian requests for sanctions relief.
"We're looking at it all now," Trump said, foreign media reported.
On the talks in general, Trump said: "We'll see what happens, we're in deep discussions with Russia and Ukraine. I would say it's going well."
Moscow has claimed that the Black Sea ceasefire agreement depends on the lifting of Western sanctions on fertilizer and food companies.
On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed Moscow's claims as false, saying that Putin does not want a ceasefire, writes A2 CNN.
The Ukrainian leader said the ceasefire came into effect with his announcement earlier this afternoon. (A2 Televizion)
