Europe will strengthen pressure penalties in Moscow – Merts

European countries will strengthen the penalty pressure in the Russian Federation, the United States has supported the corresponding decision. On Monday, May 19, at Microblog X, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, who, along with other European leaders, was a participant in phone negotiations with US President Donald Trump.

“Europe and America are unanimous in this regard: We will support Ukraine on the way to stop the fire. Europe will increase the pressure in Moscow with the help of penalties. We agree with the US president after his conversation with Putin,” he wrote on social networks KH.

At the same time, the publication of the Financial Times with the reference to his own resources, knowing Trump’s conversation with European leaders, wrote that Trump clearly said he refused to participate in the conflict and leave Ukraine and Russia directly to conduct stop negotiations. He also did not promise the US future punishment against Russia if Putin rejected any attempt to achieve peace.

Remember that this month, EU leaders arrived at Kyiv with a call to quit fire from May 12 and begin the peace negotiations. It was in line with Ukraine, but in Russia they refused.

Remember that a phone talk between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin ended after more than two hours of communication. Kremlin’s owner said that “a truce in Ukraine for a certain period of time is possible, subject to appropriate agreements.”
