Expectations are low for the third round of talks between Kiev and Moscow, which are expected to take place today, Saturday or tomorrow, as the Russian side maintains an uncompromising stance.
Speaking to Chancellor Soltz yesterday, President Putin also referred to the chancellor’s statement, informing Mr Soltz that Russia and Ukraine have planned third round of talks for the weekend. The two leaders agreed to hold further talks in the near future.
The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) developed economies said yesterday that those responsible for the Russian military attacks on civilians in Ukraine must be accountable for their crimes, following numerous reports of the use of cluster munitions and other illicit ammunition.
“It simply came to our notice then a nuclear disaster at night “On Thursday, a fire broke out during the Russian operation to seize the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine,” the US ambassador to the United Nations said.
The US Secretary of State made the ominous assessment that the Russian attack on Ukraine will continue for a long time, in a joint statement in Brussels. Anthony Blinken and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warning Russian President Putin that in this case a new package of harsh sanctions will be imposed.
“It’s tragic, horrible, but unfortunately the war may not be over yet. “We have to keep up the pressure until the war is over,” he said Anthony Blinken, reiterating that any impunity for Putin would open the Pandora’s box to repeat similar catastrophic situations. “The stakes are very high,” he said.
On the same wavelength, Ursula von der Leyen warned that “the war is far from over”. In this context, he stressed, the partners are determined to impose further strict measures if “Putin does not stop.”
“Thanks to this coordination (between the EU and the US), we have designed and developed together in record time, a set of sanctions that show our determination to make Putin pay the price,” he said.
The “ugly face of the war that broke out on our borders” was mentioned by the EU High Representative in the joint statements he made with the US Secretary of State.
Ominous forecasts for the coming days in Ukraine by the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenbergwho warned that things would get worse.
After the emergency meeting of NATO foreign ministers, Stoltenberg warned that the worst was yet to come, as he said Russian forces were expected to carry heavier weapons and continue their attacks across Ukraine. He even warned of “more death, more suffering, and more disaster. “
