Russia has responded in its typical bold manner to the Coalition of the Willing deadline for a ceasefire. Russian dictator spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claims, that Moscow is allegedly unafraid of sanctions, Russian media inform.
"We are already accustomed to sanctions. We even imagine what we will do after these sanctions are announced, how we will minimize their consequences, and so on. We have learned this, so trying to scare us with sanctions is pointless," Peskov said.
The first to react to the Coalition of the Willing ultimatum was Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council. On his X account, he launched into insults against European leaders who participated in the meeting in Kyiv.
"Macron, Merz, Starmer, and Tusk were supposed to discuss peace in Kyiv. Instead, they are firing threats at Russia. Either a ceasefire for the Bandera hordes to rest, or new sanctions. You think that’s smart, huh? Shove these peace plans up your pan-gendered behinds!" Medvedev wrote.
Ceasefire deadline
Today, May 12, the leaders of European countries — French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk — arrived in Kyiv.
The European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing and then made a call to US President Donald Trump.
Following their talks, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybyha stated that Ukraine and all its allies are ready for a complete, unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and sea for at least 30 days, starting from Monday, May 12.
Earlier, Macron and Merz had said they were prepared to intensify sanctions against Russia if it refused to agree to a ceasefire.
