Putin is stalling on purpose.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kjastutis Budrys is convinced that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is deliberately stalling to avoid a real path to peace. In a response post on Platform X, he insists on additional sanctions against the aggressor country if it does not accept a ceasefire from May 12.
"Putin's response to another ceasefire proposal: a swarm of 100 drones descended on Ukraine overnight. Putin is playing his usual game - using terror as leverage and stalling for time to avoid any real path to peace," the report said.
The Lithuanian foreign minister said it is a farce to talk about peace when Russian bombs keep falling on Ukrainian civilians.
He noted the position held by European leaders: Russia must agree to a long-term ceasefire from May 12, otherwise new sanctions will be imposed on the aggressor country.
"The fact that Putin rushed to hold a press conference less than 24 hours after European leaders, backed by the United States, demanded an unconditional ceasefire tells us everything. This approach is working - and we must stick to it. Now we must follow through. If the Russian guns do not fall silent by Monday, a new round of sanctions must be implemented - without hesitation," Budrys concluded.
