Good morning from the Financial Times.
Today is Wednesday, March 19, and this is your FT news briefing.
Russia will stop hitting certain targets in Ukraine.
Meanwhile,
a ceasefire in Gaza has fallen apart and Boeing's problems are out of this world, literally.
What's really interesting about what's emerged in the space business is
that all of this echoes a lot of the problems that Boeing actually suffered in its commercial aerospace business.
I'm Mark Filippino and here's the news.
You need to start your day.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his military to stop striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure for 30 days.
The decision came after speaking with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
Now, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky basically floated this idea back in October.
He said that it could pave the way to broader peace talks.
But yesterday, Putin stopped short of agreeing to an unconditional ceasefire.
He said there are, quote, serious risks about Ukraine's compliance.
Moscow and Washington said they would keep working toward bilateral paths to a ceasefire.
Israel launched a barrage of strikes against Hamas in Gaza yesterday.
The attack killed hundreds of Palestinians and effectively shattered a fragile ceasefire agreement.
Joining me now from Tel Aviv to talk about the latest is Neri Zilber.
He covers the conflict for the ft. Hey, Neri.
