European ministers urged for further pressure on Moscow on Wednesday, following US-Russia talks in which Vladimir Putin appeared to make no concessions to settle the war in Ukraine. When I see anything different, I’m going to keep trying to conclude that Russia does not want peace,” Sweden’s Maria Malmer Stenegard told reporters after arriving at a NATO foreign ministers meeting.
That is why we must adhere to the two-point plan – increase the support to Ukraine and boost the pressure on Russia – and we need to hit them where it hurts most, and that is the oil and gas revenues,” she told reporters.
The NATO ministerial session, which United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio is skipping, comes a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin invited Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner to discussions on ending the war in Ukraine.
The most recent round of talks followed the release of a new peace plan being hammered out between Washington and Moscow, which stunned Ukrainians and Europeans alike with its strongly pro-Russian leanings.
