Message to Putin

US president Donald Trump intends to discuss the Russian President, Vladimir Putin With Tuesday.

Valtonen said in Brussels that the EU message to Putin is clear.

“It should not be very difficult to agree to a 30 -day ceasefire.”

According to Valtonen, the fact that Russia has left a peace offer on the table for a week, says Putin’s attitude.

“I think it tells quite a bit about who is not committed to peace here,” Valtonen said.

According to the Foreign Minister, the idea behind the absolute ceasefire is that both parties leave the weapons to rest and move to the negotiating table, which only begins to agree on the terms of possible peace.
