Responsibility for peace is in Putin’s hands today, - Tajani
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani believes that today all responsibility for peace is in the hands of dictator Putin.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to ANSA.
"Peace depends only on the will of the Russian Federation," the minister emphasized.
Tajani recalled the "disappointing" signals, warning that a 30-day ceasefire is a crucial condition for "serious negotiations."
The Italian foreign minister hopes that Russia will recognize Ukraine's readiness for direct talks and "the commitment of all of us to achieve peace."
"All the responsibility is in Putin's hands today," the minister summarized.
Earlier, German government spokesman Stefan Cornelius warned that dictator Putin must respond to the ceasefire proposal in Ukraine by the end of the day. If he does not, new sanctions will be imposed on Russia.
The Kremlin said Putin had clearly outlined his position on negotiations with Ukraine. The language of ultimatums is unacceptable to Moscow.
What preceded it?

In turn, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin rejected the proposal of the "Coalition of the Willing" for a ceasefire from May 12 and suggested resuming direct talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul.
