Financial Times: Russian-American talks on the Black Sea are making Europe nervous
The Black Sea states of Europe are anxiously following the ongoing peace talks between the United States and Russia on Ukraine in Saudi Arabia today. They fear a possible deal that would restore some of Moscow's influence in the disputed territories.

The coastal states of Romania and Bulgaria fear any significant changes to the status quo in the Black Sea as part of any broader potential agreement between Russia and the United States, officials from the region said.
Ukraine has displaced the Russian fleet from the western part of the sea. Thus, it is expected that any agreement reached without Kiev's participation will be beneficial to Moscow and may affect the security of the countries of the region.

Originally scheduled for Monday, negotiations between the United States and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia on a partial ceasefire began on Sunday. After the meeting, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov called the talks with the U.S. delegation in Saudi Arabia "constructive and meaningful."
Russia has downplayed expectations for a quick resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. Moscow noted that the negotiations are just beginning and the parties are still at the beginning of the road. Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia's main focus in negotiations with the United States would be to discuss the possible resumption of the grain deal.

Although the details of the joint statement were not immediately clear, the messages exchanged by the administration of US President Donald Trump with the American technical group in Riyadh were optimistic.
US National Security Adviser Mike Walz said that the ceasefire regarding the air infrastructure came into force immediately after a telephone conversation between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Next on the agenda was a cease-fire at sea to ensure the movement of grain, fuel and other goods.

The talks between the United States and Russia took place the day after the White House delegation met with Ukrainian officials in Riyadh. The focus of this conversation was the 30-day cessation of attacks on energy infrastructure, which Russia and Ukraine agreed on last week. However, the attacks continue.
The Kremlin has said that Moscow is observing a month-long moratorium, despite the fact that Kiev continues to strike Russian energy facilities, but Ukraine claims that Russian strikes are also continuing and that Kiev will agree to a pause only if an official document is signed.

U.S. officials intend to meet with their Ukrainian counterparts for a second round of talks after speaking with the Russian team. This seems to have somewhat reassured Ukraine's European allies, who remain concerned that US President Donald Trump is turning away from Washington's Western partners and instead yielding to the Kremlin's wishes.
Financial Times: Ukraine faces devastating consequences if the duty-free trade agreement with the EU is not extended
Ukraine has warned of "truly devastating" consequences if the approaching deadline for the completion of the duty-free trade agreement halts unrestricted trade with the EU as the country grapples with uncertainty about long-term U.S. support.

The EU's emergency trade measures, which abolished duties and quotas on Ukrainian exports, are due to expire on June 5, and there is little time left to extend them.
Finance Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Marchenko noted that the European Union is Kiev's key trading partner. That is why it would be very devastating for Ukraine if Kiev found itself in a situation that existed before the conflict.
