The ultimatum and demand for a ceasefire was ignored. If Russia won't get promised āmassive sanctions,ā it will continue its āsmoke screenā - staged talks, go on with methodical killings, prepare for a summer military campaign. Western inaction will only strengthen the aggressor.



After the first round of ānegotiationsā, it should be clear to everyone. Russia, with its absurd demands and delusions about the āroot causeā of the war, has spread a smokescreen to continue its war crimes. We will become indirect accomplices if we do not severely punish them.



Europe must stop looking at the so-called āpeace processā, which is in reality a stalling move. Stop looking at the US and take decisive sanctions on Russia in the areas of finance, shadow fleet, energy, increasing military aid to Ukraine and forming security deterrence forces.
