It was NOT agreed to...it was on the table...

Yup.

But maybe the Ukraine which seems hell bent on continuing this war (their senior leaders) should take some credit in our non-propagandist and fact checked media.

It was agreed to. Russia added the conditions after President Trump released the U.S. readout of the deal. Sanctions relief was never a precondition to the Black Sea ceasefire.

Russia said sanctions against organisations like the Russian Agricultural Bank would have to end, and their access to the SWIFT system of international payments would have to be restored.

Exactly like he original grain deal. We were supposed to let the Russian agricultural bank have access to SWIFT again and have their sanctions lifted. We reneged on that and it fell apart after they gave us a year to do it.
