It doesn't seem like Ukraine gets much out of this 'deal'. Looks more like a giveaway to Russia.

There hasn't really been that much going on at the Black Sea. Ukraine retains the right to sink Russian warships that leave the eastern corner of the sea. Beside that, there are grain ships and oil ships. This agreement should (but, I guess, probably won't) completely guarantee the safety of any grain ships, regardless of country.

Then there's the idiocy about "energy sector". Apparently nothing concrete has been agreed about that and there's agood chance nothing will. It's such a stupid initiative. I hope the lost submitted by Ukraine has been very extensive. That way, it won't be a list of "these are the targets we really do not want to lose."

The problem with the grain sector is that Russian banks are supposed to be reconnected to SWIFT. That obviously would be used for other payments as well.

EU should just cut banking connections to USA if USA allows the Russia back in SWIFT... I know EU would never do that, but it absolutely should.
