Russia is open to dialogue on ensuring security in the Black Sea with all countries, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Interfax news agency, according to Kommersant.
Peskov said that despite Moscow's openness to discussion, specific bilateral agreements on Black Sea security are not currently being negotiated with any particular country.
The comments come as Black Sea security has remained a recurring subject of international attention amid Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, which has disrupted shipping routes and raised safety concerns for vessels operating in the region.
Limited detail
Peskov's remarks, as reported, did not specify which countries Russia considers potential partners for such a dialogue, nor did they outline any concrete proposals currently on the table. The statement appears to be a general expression of willingness to engage rather than an announcement of a new initiative.
