“The clock is ticking – we still have 12 hours until the end of the day,” said German government spokesman Stefan Cornelius, a press conference.
The ultimatum was the latest turn in more frenatics round of diplomatic brinkmans Because the Trump management is angry with the lack of progress in the leading of the bloodiest conflict in Europe in generations.
On Monday, the Kremlin spokesman brushed the threat.
“The language of the ultimatums is unacceptable – you can’t talk to Russia like this,” the spokeswoman Dmitry S. Peskov said in Russian news agencies.
President Vladimir V. Putin rejected a 30-day reconciliation for the first time so far Offered by the United States at the beginning of March And immediately accepted by Ukraine.
Instead, Mr. Putin called on the rest of the direct talks with Ukraine this weekend this weekend. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the Russian leader in person to meet him in person.
“I will be in Turkey this Thursday and May 15 and Putin also waiting for Turkey. Personally,” Mr. Zelensky said on Sunday. “And I hope that this time, Putin will not look for the excuse to why it cannot do.”

Andriy Yumbak, head of Mr. Zelensky’s employees, was used to the Kremlin’s tactics of Kremlin. The proposal to meet with the President of Russia said that “the ball is in the court of Moscow” is designed to explain.
“We will not give Russia the cause of Russia to accuse Russia of provocation of the peace process” Mr. Meal.
Along with the European allies, Ukraine continued to say that the battles needed to stop serious talks on Monday.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that Kiev has shown time to make a compromise and more to concessure to start the hard work of a sustainable peace brokerage.
“Ya Russia – Mr Putin – is serious and want peace or not serious, and we need to apply more sanctions,” he said.
France, Germany, England and Polish leaders were careful to convey their efforts to the White House to convey the same message to Kiev for the weekend. Moscow, who agreed to the unconditional ceasefire, said that additional sanctions targeted by Moscow’s oil exports and additional banking and the United States will impose sanctions on the United States if the United States does not agree to the peace.
However, after Mr. Putin warned the direction of direct talks without aware of the ceasefire, President Trump called on Ukrainians to take a meeting.
“Ukraine must agree on this,” Mr. Trump said in a statement on social media on Sunday.
Mr. Zelensky responded rapidly, who agreed to negotiations in any format, which will travel to Turkey to meet with Mr. Putin, quickly responded rapidly.
