US President Donald Trump stated that ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia would commence 'immediately' after a call with President Putin. However, the nature of these discussions is vague, as Russia demands compromises from Ukraine, which is opposed to withdrawing from annexed territories. EU foreign ministers, meeting in Brussels, urged Washington to impose consequences if Moscow does not accept an unconditional ceasefire, while they prepare to sign the EU's 17th sanctions package against Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine.
While Ukraine is open to dialogue, they firmly reject any notion of compromise that involves the forced withdrawal of their military from territories occupied by Russia.
Kaja Kallas emphasized the need for repercussions on the Kremlin if they refuse to agree to a ceasefire, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
