President Trump has demanded that Ukraine should “immediately” agree to direct talks with Russia in a bid to end the war.
In a post on social media, Trump said: “President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH. Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY.
“At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the US will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly!”

What does ‘proceed accordingly’ look like for the EU?
Is EU willing to fully put their economic livelihood where their mouth is (i.e _full_ sanctions – **no Russian gas**)?

Zelensky’s reaction:
>
We await a full and lasting ceasefire, starting from tomorrow, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in prolonging the killings. And I will be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday. Personally. I hope that this time the Russians will not look for excuses.
