Kyiv's allies hit Russia with fresh sanctions
Orissa POST
|May 21, 2025
Kyiv's European allies slapped new sanctions on Tuesday Moscow, a day after a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to produce a breakthrough on ending the 3-year-old war in Ukraine.
"We have made clear again and again that we simply expect one thing from Russia now: namely, a ceasefire, unconditional and immediate," German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in announcing the sanctions.
"We welcome the fact that Ukraine is still prepared to do this. We note with disappointment that Russia has not yet taken this decisive step, and we will have to react to this."
