The penalties were imposed by the United States and the European Union, and removing them would be an arduous process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Kyiv and Moscow also appear to have different interpretations of the agreement announced on Tuesday. Russia <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kremlin.ru\/events\/president\/news\/76526\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">framed it<\/a> as a way to revive a 2022 U.N.-backed deal giving it some control over commercial shipping through the sea. Kyiv, however, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rustem_umerov\/status\/1904549709349339531\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">insisted that<\/a> it would not allow the Russian Navy back into the western Black Sea, which Ukraine uses at its main seaborne export route.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Underscoring the mistrust between the two countries, each side accused the other of breaching the truce on Wednesday. Ukraine reported an attack on its port city of Mykolaiv, while Moscow said it shot down two Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Russia\u2019s conditions highlighted how it is in no hurry to end the war. With a sympathetic administration in the White House and as its forces have the upper hand on the battlefield, Moscow has been determined to get as many concessions as possible.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2af02275\">What were Russia\u2019s terms?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"http:\/\/en.kremlin.ru\/events\/president\/news\/76526\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kremlin said<\/a> it would not agree to a maritime cease-fire deal unless its state agriculture bank and other financial institutions involved in the trade of food and fertilizers were reconnected to the international payment system known as Swift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The system has its headquarters in Belgium, meaning that the United States would need to press European regulators to agree. In <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefings-statements\/2025\/03\/outcomes-of-the-united-states-and-russia-expert-groups-on-the-black-sea\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a statement<\/a> about the deal, the White House pledged that it would \u201chelp restore Russia\u2019s access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Moscow said it also wanted Western companies to restore deliveries of agricultural equipment to Russia and sanctions removed against its companies, ships and insurers involved in the food and fertilizer trade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Russia says its exports of grain and fertilizers reached $45 billion in 2023. Even during the war, Russia has been exporting record-high volumes of grain and fertilizers, said Andrei Sizov, director of SovEcon, a Russian consultancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If sanctions were lifted against a Russian state bank, the Kremlin could use it for other transactions, too, said Aleksandr Kolyandr, a Russia analyst at the Center for European Policy Analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe minute you have a sanctions-free bank, you can use it for whatever you want,\u201d Mr. Kolyandr said. \u201cIt can be an instrument to crack the sanctions regime,\u201d he said, but \u201cit is much easier to monitor just one bank.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2afc7a7a\">What is Ukraine\u2019s position?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While Kyiv said it would comply with the maritime cease-fire, it remains skeptical about Moscow\u2019s intentions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said on Tuesday that Russia\u2019s demand for lifting sanctions showed that \u201cthey are already trying to distort agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zelensky also said the U.S. commitment to help bolster Russian agricultural exports was \u201ca weakening of positions and a weakening of sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Given Russia\u2019s demands and the differing interpretations both sides have of the deal, it remains unclear what Ukraine stand to gain. Experts note the White House did not say whether the deal would protect Ukrainian ports from Russian attacks and enable the reopening of the ports of Mykolaiv and Kherson \u2014 two demands that Ukraine had pushed for during negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Kyiv also has little interest in returning to the 2022 U.N.-backed agreement that Russia wants to revive. The deal allowed Ukraine to export its grain through an agreed upon Black Sea corridor, and Russia to inspect all commercial ships to ensure that they did not carry weapons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Andrii Klymenko, the head of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies, said the inspections delayed exports so much that it made the route unprofitable. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Russia backed out of the deal, Ukraine secured its own shipping corridor by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/12\/world\/europe\/ukraine-navy-admiral-black-sea.html\" title=\"\">pushing the Russian Navy out of the western parts of the Black Sea<\/a>. That allowed seaborne grain exports <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/12\/world\/europe\/ukraine-black-sea-grain-exports.html\" title=\"\">to return to near-prewar levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6a4ca681\">What may happen next?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last week, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia agreed to halt attacks against Ukrainian energy infrastructure for 30 days. Ukraine, which has been in favor of a full immediate cease-fire, followed suit. Both countries reaffirmed on Tuesday their commitment to institute a 30-day moratorium on energy strikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, the Kremlin published a list of facilities that fall under the moratorium. The list includes oil refineries, pipelines and storage facilities, nuclear plants, hydroelectric dams and energy transmission infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But both sides have traded accusations of attacks against each other\u2019s power grid over the past week, and it was unclear whether they could find common ground soon. The situation with the energy cease-fire highlighted how Moscow has been willing to drag the talks, portraying itself as open to negotiations but making no major concessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rustem Umerov, Ukraine\u2019s defense minister, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rustem_umerov\/status\/1904549709349339531\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener
