Lithuanian Foreign Minister Insists On Sanctions If Russia Does Not Agree To Ceasefire From May 12
Kęstutis Budris

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.
