American and Russian negotiators have convened in Riyadh for discussions on a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea. The closed-door talks at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel follow U.S. consultations with a Ukrainian delegation on stabilizing the front lines and implementing a proposed 30-day armistice.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized the limited scope of discussions, noting that “a great many different aspects [of a ceasefire] are still to be worked through.” <\/p>\n

Russia, facing Ukrainian drone attacks, has moved its Black Sea fleet away from the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, while continuing strikes on Ukrainian ports. Shipping routes through the territorial waters of NATO members remain vital for Ukrainian exports.<\/p>\n
