Waffenruhe in the Black Sea: Russia and Ukraine rely on peace!

Vienna, Österreich - On March 25, 2025, Russia and Ukraine agreed a partial ceasefire in the Black Sea. This agreement also includes the energy infrastructures of both countries. According to vienna.at this happened in the framework of separate negotiations with the USA, which are based on the conclusions of these discussions.

Russia has guaranteed to ensure safe shipping in the Black Sea. The agreement stipulates that attacks on energy systems will be prevented for a period of 30 days, retrospectively from March 18. The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj announced that the ceasefire will come into force immediately. In this context, Selenskyj, US President Donald Trump, plans to ask for more weapons and sanctions against Russia if Moscow violates the agreements.

monitoring and self -defense

The Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerow was positive about the monitoring of the agreements by third countries. He also emphasized that every movement of Russian naval vessels beyond the eastern Black Sea is considered a violation of the agreement. This would activate the right to self -defense of Ukraine. In the negotiations, a possible restoration of the access of Russia to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports is also sought, supported by discussions about sustainable peace.

The White House plans to have separate conversations with Russian and Ukrainian delegations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow explained that the results of the talks are analyzed in Riad. There are currently no three-way calls between Russia, the USA and Ukraine. Nevertheless, Peskow emphasized that short -term talks between President Putin and President Trump could be arranged if necessary.

geopolitical tensions and economic challenges

The geopolitical framework is strongly shaped by different conflicts. According to coface.at the international excitement increased in recent years, in particular due to the Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and military terrorism Hamas since October 2023. Experts estimate that these conflicts lead to a new era of geopolitical restructuring.

The upcoming change in US politics, with Donald Trump's renewed presidency from January 20, could destabilize existing geopolitical structures. Trump plans a trade -oriented approach that forces countries to choose between the United States and other nations, which increases the risk of a new Cold War. The rivalry between the USA and China remains crucial.

The European Union is also faced with internal challenges and suffers from inadequate defense investments. This could lead to Europe in a difficult situation in the continuing geopolitical tensions between the USA and China. Such a scenario would force companies to adapt their strategies to the ambiguous geopolitical situation.
