According to an American official, Ukraine has agreed not to target some non-Russian tankers and the Black Sea infrastructure critical to Kazakh crude oil exports. A US official who asked for anonymity said that Ukraine has set up points of contact so that commercial carriers can exchange information and ensure safe passage. The promise, made after a meeting between senior US administration leaders and Ukrainian leaders, marks a possible significant step in increasing oil flows in the region. Earlier, a series of attacks on ships occurred near Russia's Novorossiysk Pipeline Union pier, causing oil activity in the region to cool down.
