Investing.com -- High-ranking officials from Europe are currently in discussions with the Trump administration to reach a consensus on a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. As per Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the situation, new sanctions could be imposed on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not comply.
The plans are not yet finalized and the next steps depend on the US, which has proposed a month-long unconditional truce. The US also insists that both Russia and Ukraine should be held responsible for upholding the integrity of direct negotiations.
In a post on Truth Social earlier this week, US President Donald Trump warned that further sanctions would be imposed by the US and its allies if the ceasefire is not respected.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced on Friday that leaders from the European "coalition of the willing" are scheduled to meet in Ukraine on Saturday. Zelenskiy, who communicated this during a military summit in Norway via a video link, did not specify which countries would be present at the meeting.
