ceasefire agreement

The British Prime Minister has called on his foreign colleagues to put pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Will Europe be able to create enough pressure to get Russia to the negotiating table and could Donald Trump exert similar pressure? Viktor Danek, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented for CNN Prima News.

The British Prime Minister held a virtual summit on Ukraine on Saturday 15 March. It was to discuss peacekeepers to oversee a possible ceasefire in Ukraine. How many countries would send their peacekeepers to Ukraine? Viktor Danek, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the summit for CNN Prima News.

Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff has had a night of meetings in Moscow. U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio said the ceasefire remains uncertain, but admitted to signs of optimism. The Kremlin made a similar point. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented for ČT24.

The conflict in the Middle East has further intensified the fighting within the European Union. Some states are on the side of Israel, others on the side of the Palestinian Hamas movement. Brussels was not formally involved in the ceasefire agreement, but the European Union supported the signing of the ceasefire from the start and can play an important role now in implementing the agreement and ensuring that it is respected. Researcher Danielle Piatkiewicz at EUROPEUM Institute commented for Slovakian STVR.
