Sanctions Harsh trade curbs on Moscow ready if Putin stalls, says key US senator

Graham is due to meet European foreign ministers, including the UK foreign secretary David Lammy, in Turkey, where they had gathered yesterday for a long-scheduled informal two-day Nato meeting.

The Europeans have been pinning their hopes on the US sanctions as the most effective way to persuade Putin he should negotiate a peace deal with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Putin at the weekend had called for direct negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegations. Zelenskyy then called Putin's bluff by challenging to meet in Istanbul in person for peace talks. Trump said that if both leaders were there he might also join.
