European leaders are pressing for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, threatening sanctions against Russia if they do not comply. Despite this ultimatum, Russia continues military aggression, undermining the possibility of peace talks. Ukrainian President Zelensky expresses willingness to negotiate directly with Putin, who has so far rejected the ceasefire proposal. European officials stress the urgency of the situation, warning that failure to achieve a ceasefire by the deadline will lead to significant sanctions targeting Russia's economy, particularly its banking and energy sectors.
Moscow squanders another opportunity to put an end to the killings. This once again demonstrates that Russia's only goal is to prolong the war.
The clock is ticking...if the ceasefire is not in place by then, the European side will [set in motion] preparations for sanctions.
The sanctions would be massive.
We discussed strong steps that can be taken, including sanctions against Russia's banking, central bank, and energy sectors.
