US Official: Ukraine Agrees to Avoid Strikes on Non-Russian Tankers and Black Sea Oil Facilities
On August 8, according to a US official, Ukraine has agreed not to target certain non-Russian tankers and Black Sea infrastructure vital to Kazakhstan's crude oil exports. This follows ship attacks last month that caused loading disruptions. The US official said Ukraine has set up contact points so commercial shipping companies can communicate information and ensure safe passage. The commitment was reached after meetings between senior US government leaders and Ukrainian leadership, marking a potentially significant step toward increasing regional oil shipments. Previously, activity in the region had cooled significantly due to several recent attacks near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal in Russia's Novorossiysk. (Jin Shi) -
