  • Story Text: U.S. delegation will seek progress toward a Black Sea ceasefire when it meets for talks with Russian officials on Monday (March 24), after discussions with diplomats from Ukraine on Sunday (March 23).
    The so-called technical talks come as U.S. President Donald Trump intensifies his drive for a halt to Russia's three-year-old assault against Ukraine.
    Last week, he spoke with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
    The White House says the aim of the talks is to reach a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, allowing the free flow of shipping.
    White House national security adviser Mike Waltz told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that beyond a Black Sea ceasefire, the teams will discuss "the line of control" between the two countries.
