The world is watching the second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. On March 3, local time, the second round of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations began.
In the capital market, the crude oil that had previously soared suddenly plunged in a straight line, and the US stock market continued to rise.
The Ukrainian delegation arrived at the place of negotiations
According to the Russian News Agency reported on March 3, the Ukrainian delegation has arrived at the Russian-Ukrainian negotiation site in Belarus.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy's office said the Ukrainian delegation was about to negotiate with the Russian side.
Agence France-Presse also reported that Mikhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, tweeted on social media: "We are on the way to negotiations with the Russian Federation." Already on the helicopter.
Regarding the content of the negotiations, according to the Russian news agency reported on March 3, a member of the Ukrainian delegation said that at least the issue of "humanitarian access" will be discussed in the new round of negotiations with Russia, and others will depend on the situation.
Crude oil suddenly plunged in a straight line
As negotiations continued, crude oil, which had previously soared, suddenly plunged in a straight line, and as of press time, NYMEX crude oil fell by more than 1%.
The reason for the sudden dive in crude oil, in addition to the continuation of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, may have something to do with the imminent conclusion of the Iran nuclear deal. On March 3, Iranian oil reporter Reza Zandi said that it received decisive news that the next 72-hour kernel agreement will be signed in Vienna. Even though it may take a few days or so, it seems certain that an agreement will be reached.
A nuclear deal with Iran is likely to ease the surge in oil prices. According to statistics, Iran has the world's second largest natural gas reserves and the fourth largest crude oil reserves.
Putin called the military operation "going to be done anyway"
The Russian Satellite News Agency and the Russian News Agency reported on March 3 that the Kremlin released news that Russian President Putin had a telephone conversation with French President Macron.
Putin told Macron that Russia's task of conducting military operations against Ukraine "will be completed no matter what," and Ukraine's attempt to buy time by delaying the negotiations will only lead to additional demands from the Russian side in the negotiations.
Separately, Putin told Macron during the call that the Russian armed forces destroyed only Ukrainian military installations, and that claims that "Russian troops carried out missile attacks and bombings on Kiev and other cities in Ukraine" are "not true" and that these claims are part of an "anti-Russian campaign to propagate disinformation."
Russian media: Russia will stop exporting rocket engines to the United States
According to TASS, Dmitry Rogozin, president of the Russian National Space Corporation, said on the "24-Hour News" television station that in response to US sanctions, Russia will stop exporting rocket engines to Washington.
He said: "We have decided to ban the sale of rocket engines produced by Russian power machine companies in the United States today. I would like to remind you that since the mid-90s, we have had a fairly abundant supply of beauty."
For more than 20 years, Russia has provided NASA with more than 100 rocket engines, which are used to transport cargo to orbit "Cosmos" and "Great Mars" launch vehicles.
After 2014, the U.S. Congress criticized the Pentagon from time to time for using Russian-made engines on U.S. rockets, and even banned the Pentagon from continuing to do so after 2019. But then the Pentagon managed to lift the ban, which Russian experts estimated was due to the inability of the United States to build its own rocket engines by 2025.
The report pointed out that there have always been calls in Russia to refuse to sell rocket engines to the United States.
In addition, the Russian Aerospace Corporation will also suspend joint tests with Germany in the Russian module of the International Space Station.
Lavrov: The US is acting to put Russia to death
On March 3, local time, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said he expressed his condolences to Ukrainian civilians killed in a special Russian military operation. He said it was very bad to see civilians killed, but in the last 8 years, thousands of people have been killed in Donbass.
Lavrov said he was convinced that war plans against Russia were already brewing.
Lavrov said the West's "hysteria" on Ukraine will eventually subside and their madness will eventually stop. The discussion of nuclear war does exist, but it is not Russia that is involved, but NATO and Ukraine. He pointed out that the West needs nuclear weapons or the topic of World War III to support their so-called Russian phobia. The United States is acting not to ensure Ukraine's security on the basis of a balance of interests of all countries, but to demonize Russia and put it to death.
Lavrov said that all Russian officers and soldiers who carry out special military operations in Ukraine have been clearly ordered to launch attacks only on The Ukrainian military infrastructure and the Ukrainian army, and must not launch attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilians.
Russian Foreign Minister: The agreement reached between Russia and Ukraine must include a clause for ukraine to destroy all weapons that threaten Russia
Lavrov said Russia is ready to discuss security issues with Ukraine and European countries.
Lavrov pointed out that the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine must include a clause for Ukraine to destroy all weapons that threaten Russia.
Mezinski, head of the Russian delegation, said that the second round of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations will be held at 15:00 local time on the 3rd. The Russian side put forward negotiations proposals to the Ukrainian side from three aspects: military technology, humanistic international relations, and politics.
