From the article: Germany gave Russia until the end of May 12 to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, warning that failure to do so would trigger preparations for new sanctions, government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said during a briefing, Tagesschau reported on May 12.
“The clock is ticking — we still have 12 hours until the end of this day,” Kornelius reportedly said, adding that Berlin is coordinating with European partners on additional sanctions.
The ultimatum follows Russia’s refusal of a 30-day unconditional ceasefire starting May 12, proposed by Ukraine and its allies last week when European leaders visited Kyiv.
The demand for the unconditional 30-day ceasefire was the main outcome of talks between Ukraine, France, the U.K., Germany, and Poland, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
A combo of sanctions and targeted military aid would provide an even more impactful punitive punch.
Western powers need to harness holistic, strategic approaches to maximum effect. Broad pressure, forcing Putin and the Kremlin to spread their resources to the breaking point is key.
All sanctions should’ve been applied from day one
It takes a while for the strain of sanctions to hit, that should’ve been done already and it should still happen regardless of what Russia chooses to do
Also some large military aid packages being given to Ukraine wouldn’t hurt, it seems like EU has really dropped the ball in regards to that in recent times when it should be doing more since the US won’t give Ukraine anything large like they used to
Should have prepared them before hand. “Shit will happen” sounds way convincing than “We will prepare to maybe make shit happen”
Things are about to get interesting 🤔🤫

No more second chances. The Russians have been stringing us along for long enough.
Wonder what kind of sanctions they still can pull
Good to see Merz going for it. I am curious however if he will keep up against Russian asymmetric warfare. I guess there will be massive attacks incoming from all arsenal Russia has. Starting with false info, troll farms, sabotage acts and so on.
The rest of the world should punt every Russian embassy until further notice. Let them know we are done playing this game of bait and switch. If you wanna act like an enemy to the world, we don’t need to keep an embassy for you to pretend to look legitimate. Let that be step 1. They need to learn the basic lesson of going the fuck home.
