\"Russia<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 6 that Russia is refusing to accept an unconditional ceasefire in order to keep launching missile strikes from the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the reasons why Russia is distorting diplomacy, why it is refusing to agree to an unconditional ceasefire\u2014they want to preserve their ability to strike our cities and ports from the sea,\u201d Zelensky said<\/a> in his evening address.<\/p>\n

Zelensky<\/a> emphasized that a ceasefire at sea isn\u2019t just about navigation or food exports, but also about preventing further escalation.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Russian President) Putin<\/a> does not want to end the war. He wants to preserve the means to escalate it at any moment with even greater force,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian president called for continued pressure on Moscow. \u201cIf there is a ceasefire, it must be unconditional\u2014one that does not allow for the destruction of life,\u201d Zelensky said. \u201cPutin is refusing. We are awaiting a response from the United States\u2014and we also expect a response from all in Europe and around the world who truly want peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three weeks ago, Ukraine and the U.S. agreed to implement a full 30-day ceasefire. Russia declined to do so, issuing a list of demands instead.<\/p>\n

As part of the March 25 partial ceasefire deal, Washington vowed to help restore Russia’s access<\/a> to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin stated that the ceasefire would take effect<\/a> only after the West lifted some of the sanctions imposed on Russia.<\/p>\n

On April 4, Russia hit a residential neighborhood<\/a> in the city of Kryvyi Rih with ballistic missiles and drones, killing 20 people, including nine children, according to local authorities. 75 people were reportedly injured.<\/p>\n

Each day afterward, at least one major Ukrainian city far from the front lines was struck<\/a> by Russian missiles, resulting in civilian deaths.<\/p>\n

\n
What Russia really wants from the Black Sea ceasefire deal<\/div>\n
With much fanfare, the U.S. on March 25 announced it had brokered an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to \u201celiminate the use of force\u201d in the Black Sea after two days of talks in Saudi Arabia. But while Kyiv said it was ready to abide by it straight away,<\/div>\n
