Russia's foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Moscow "sees no grounds" for a mutual truce in the Black Sea after Turkey proposed a moratorium on military action. Zakharova cited "brazen acts of terrorism carried out by Ukrainian military drones" against civilian vessels as a reason to reject what she called half-measures. Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan had urged a cease-fire mechanism on August 8, and Reuters reported Ukraine offered a mutual halt to strikes on civilian targets via an intermediary but has not received a response. The immediate consequence is a continued diplomatic stalemate over civilian safety at sea.
