Moscow Rejects Ceasefire: RU Faces Economic Collapse - Econ Lessons
My name is Mark, and I want to make the world a better place for all, but we have to start with the ideals of truth. Russia rejects the peace ceasefire. They come up with the same language they have always said, they want serious talks like in Turkey, while simultaneously launching drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, undermining the sincerity of their offer. In response, the European Union, along with Ukraine, issued a joint ultimatum demanding a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, warning of severe sanctions and more profound isolation if Russia fails to comply. While the United States' reply has remained muted, the Papacy strongly condemned the attacks, labeling them acts of Russian aggression and calling for a just peace rooted in international law. Europe, guided by the principle of cooperation for the common good of all humanity, stands firmly for democracy, freedom, and a just and lasting peace.
