00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a step in the right direction.
00:06But after the White House announced that both Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a maritime
00:10ceasefire, residents of the city known as the Pearl of the Black Sea, Odessa,
00:15said they feared the agreement would prove unstable.
00:20The Russians never keep their word. All these deals will not be in Ukraine's favour.
00:28On Monday, a Russian missile strike injured 88 people, including 17 children in Sumy in
00:35North Ukraine. In the capital, Kyiv, many are convinced that attacks like these will continue,
00:42despite the agreement, which also bans strikes on energy infrastructure.
00:57Of course, it cannot be perceived in any way as one step to peace as the concept.
01:06The Americans show their true faces. Nobody believes them.
01:12We are waiting for Europe to finally unite and understand that it is all about unity.
01:20President Zelensky expressed hope that the Black Sea ceasefire would take effect
01:25immediately. As for the strikes on infrastructure, both countries agreed to
01:30pause attacks for 30 days, starting on March 18th. For many, lasting peace remains a distant hope.
