- Ukraine is offering Russia a deal to halt attacks on civilian vessels in the Black Sea, according to The Guardian's exclusive reporting.
- Reuters separately confirmed the proposal, citing a source who linked the overture to mounting food supply concerns stemming from the conflict.
Why it matters: A Black Sea shipping truce would directly reopen a critical corridor for Ukrainian grain exports, which have been choked by Russian attacks and threaten global food supply chains. With no confirmed Russian response, the deal's viability rests entirely on Moscow's willingness to de-escalate a blockade that has already disrupted agricultural shipments.
