Urgent Call for Cease-Fire: European Leaders Demand Action from Russia
Amidst escalating tensions, EU leaders insist on an immediate halt to hostilities in Ukraine, threatening sanctions if Russia does not comply.
In a recent press conference, German government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating, "The clock is ticking — we still have 12 hours until the end of this day." This latest development comes as diplomatic efforts intensify to address what has become Europe’s bloodiest conflict in decades.
During the conference, representatives voiced their frustrations over the stagnation of negotiations and the lack of actionable responses from Moscow. Russian spokesman Dmitri S. Peskov reacted to the ultimatum dismissively, describing the use of ultimatums as "unacceptable" and reiterating that Russia would not respond to such pressure.
President Vladimir Putin has consistently refrained from agreeing to a unconditional 30-day truce initially proposed by the United States in March, which Ukraine accepted promptly. In response to Putin’s calls for renewed direct talks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky challenged him to a face-to-face meeting, further adding to the complexity of the situation.
As the deadline approaches, the eyes of the international community remain fixed on Russia, with leaders emphasizing that any inaction may lead to prompt and severe consequences aimed at stemming the violence and facilitating a peaceful resolution.
