I found it interesting that it was a "mirror" deal, where the Ukrainians are promising not to attack Russian commercial ships in the black sea. Could be that Russia wants to ensure safe passage of its own goods too, as they are likely very short on cash.
Any Russian actions seem suspicious at this point, but getting that grain out of Ukraine will certainly help a lot of people.
