STORYLINE:
Residents of Ukrainian port city Odesa reacted on Tuesday to the the third day of negotiations on a ceasefire in Saudi Arabia.
The United States said an agreement was reached to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea as it wrapped up three days of talks with Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Saudi Arabia on prospective steps toward a limited ceasefire.
"We could fulfil the agreements if Russia also fulfilled them. If they will not fulfil the agreements, we will not fulfil them either, said Odesa resident Alla Parshyna.
56-year-old Parshyna, who works in a pet shop, recalled a few days ago feeling afraid after hearing drones fly near her house.
"I have such faith in my heart that the world will support us. Regardless of what opinions exist in America now, it seems to me that there are still more reasonable people", said Parshyna.
54-year old Mykhailo Stratyichuk came to Odesa with his family for medical treatment.
During the latest attack on Saturday he told his daughter that it was thunder and not Shahed drones to keep her calm.
