THE White House said an agreement was struck today to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea.

The US said it has made separate agreements with Ukraine and Russia to ensure all navigation through the area is protected.

The deal also bans Russian and Ukraine from attacking each other’s energy facilities.
