Russia Stalls Ceasefire Talks Amid Escalating Attacks on Ukraine, Threatens Sanctions Against Russia

Russia has rejected Ukrainian demands for a ceasefire and instead added new conditions, as it intensifies attacks on Ukraine amid stalled negotiations. The move has sparked concerns of further escalation and prompted US President Donald Trump to threaten new sanctions against Russian oil. Russia's refusal to meet the Ukrainian demands has raised fears of a prolonged conflict in Eastern Europe. Diplomatic efforts remain strained as talks continue to stall.
