The second round of consultations between Russia and the United States on Ukraine may take place in Riyadh in mid-April. Technical consultations will continue, although organizational issues have not yet been discussed. On March 24, negotiations took place, which became the longest since the beginning of the conflict – 12 hours, following which the parties agreed on safe navigation on the Black Sea. The connection of the Rosselkhoznadzor to SWIFT may take place as early as April. This will happen as part of the resumption of the Black Sea deal. Anatoly Aksakov, head of the financial market committee, said that «everything depends on how seriously the American side intends to move towards normalizing the situation around Ukraine.» The price of silver exceeded $35.2 for the first time since 2012. Previously, the maximum price was recorded in September last year, when silver was sold for $32.71, which was the highest level since December 2012. The price increase is due to an increase in the value of gold, which also reached a record the day before. Gold futures topped $3,100.44 per ounce on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. New proposals on the resource deal between Ukraine and the United States pose a threat to the sovereignty of the country. Kiev believes that the expansion of Washington's demands, namely the transfer of not only metals under U.S. control, but also energy resources, will threaten the withdrawal of profits abroad and increase Ukraine's dependence on Washington. Kazakhstan is discussing with Russia and China the creation of a logistics hub. Minister of Transport Marat Karabayev noted that the airport with a runway of 2.2 thousand meters will increase the logistical potential of the country. A river port in Tugyl with a transportation volume of up to 10 million tons and a railway crossing will also be built. In addition, international flights to China and domestic routes to Astana, Almaty and Ust-Kamenogorsk are expected to open.
