    "Together with Trump, we will increase military aid to Ukraine if
    putin refuses to cease fire,"

    "All of us here, together with the US, are calling Putin out. If he's
    serious about peace, then he has a chance to show it now,"

    European leaders issue ceasefire ultimatum to Putin or face 'massive'
    sanctions & weapons transfers to Ukraine.

    Putin has less than 36 hours to respond.

    Zelenskyy says Kyiv will talk to Moscow only after Putin accepts
    ceasefire
    ==================

    I suspect Putin wants to have his cake, so he is not wanting to make
    an agreement respecting Ukraine.

    Bombing where civilians live is not a military target, which he has
    violated many times. Europe/US should have poured on the military
    support in earlier days, and dealt with the annexation of Crimea.

    Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile...which Russia does.

    I've been away, did Putin agreed and withdraw from Ukraine?

    "Putin has rejected a proposed 30-day ceasefire after Ukraine agreed
    to one, was a no-show at talks in Istanbul, where Zelenskyy had
    proposed meeting face-to-face, and has rejected Trump's proposal to
    have talks mediated by the Vatican."

    So have "Massive" extra sanctions brought Russia to it's knees? Maybe not
    yet. Trump is so in Putin's pocket.

    Trump ain't got the balls to do it....I'm not current with Europe's
    intentions.

    During Trump 1 era.....positive towards Putin

    80 times Trump talked about Putin https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2017/03/politics/trump-putin-russia-timeline/

    Yeah, the front left one, right next to the nutsack.

    Putin has shown Russia to be astoundingly resilient to "massive"
    sanctions.

    Also, I applaud Europe finally turning more aggressive, but the threats
    and deadlines don't come across convincingly yet, after decades of
    Brussels blather and European inaction. Still, a step in the right
    direction! This might have worked had Trump&Co not turned Turncoat.
