> Military expert Vitaly Kiselyov said Kyiv’s call for a moratorium on attacks against civilian targets in the Black Sea was intended to protect its maritime logistics, exports and weapons imports. He accused Ukraine of using humanitarian rhetoric to conceal tactical goals. Reuters reported that Kyiv made the proposal through a third party, while Moscow said it had received no formal offer.
