European ministers known as on Russia to promptly advance peace talks on Ukraine, renewing their help for an “unconditional” 30-day cease-fire.

“So far, Russia has not shown any serious intent to make progress. It must do so without delay,” the ministers from six nations plus the EU mentioned in a press release after assembly in London.

The Kremlin on Monday rejected threats of latest EU sanctions if Russia refuses to conform to a cease-fire in Ukraine, calling such warnings “unacceptable ultimatums,” based on Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

“The language of ultimatums is unacceptable for Russia, it is not suitable. You cannot speak to Russia in such a language,” Peskov instructed reporters in Moscow, cited by state-run news company TASS.

He famous that comparable threats had been voiced on May 10 when French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and the British and Polish prime ministers, Keir Starmer and Donald Tusk, visited Kyiv and backed a 30-day truce proposal beginning May 12.

Earlier on Monday, the German authorities warned that the EU would start drafting further sanctions towards Russia if it rejects the proposed cease-fire settlement backed by European leaders and Ukraine.

The proposed truce follows a failed 72-hour unilateral cease-fire declared by Moscow from May 8 to May 11 to mark the eightieth anniversary of Victory Day.
