Details: Tsahkna noted that instead of seeking peace, Russia launched a record number of bombs, missiles and drones on Ukraine, hitting Ukrainian cities and causing record casualties among the civilian population.
"Firm pressure is the only way to make Russia accept an immediate and unconditional ceasefire & to begin building a just & lasting peace in Europe," he said.
Background:
- US President Donald Trump promised very severe consequences for Russia if Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin does not agree to end the war in Ukraine during their meeting on 15 August.
- Trump also stated that if his meeting with Putin in Alaska is successful, he will arrange a second meeting that Zelenskyy will be invited to attend.
