**US, Russia, Ukraine Agree to Ceasefire in Black Sea**
The US, Russia, and Ukraine have agreed to stop using force and prevent commercial vessels from being used for military purposes in the Black Sea. This agreement was reached after two days of talks in Saudi Arabia.
The talks focused on a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and involved senior officials from all three countries. The US delegation was led by Andrew Peek, a senior director at the National Security Council, while Russia’s team included Grigory Karasin, chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.
**US Vows to Help Restore Russia’s Access to World Market**
The US has also vowed to help restore Russia’s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports. This includes lowering maritime insurance costs and enhancing access to ports and payment systems for such transactions.
Despite this agreement, Russia continued its aerial attacks against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure on March 24, just as the talks were taking place.
**US Team Meets with Ukrainian Delegation**
A US team also met with a Ukrainian delegation in Riyadh on March 23. The Ukrainian team reportedly remained in Saudi Arabia for a subsequent meeting with the US delegates.
**EU Citizens See Benefits of EU Membership**
Meanwhile, a survey has found that nearly three-quarters (74%) of EU citizens believe their country has benefited from EU membership.
**Upcoming Summits and Meetings**
The Danish government is set to introduce a state-backed guarantee through the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark. The Paris summit on March 27 will bring together Germany, Poland, the UK, and other coalition members who have pledged to support Ukraine’s post-war security.
US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is scheduled to discuss a possible ceasefire deal in the Black Sea with his Russian counterpart later today.
