US-Russia Ukraine Peace Negotiations Stall Amid EU Sanctions Hurdles with Hungary
Published on 4.19.25
The recent proposal for a peace deal between the US and Russia on Ukraine has been met with cautious optimism. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has discussed an immediate ceasefire with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, as part of this proposed agreement.
However, the EU's efforts to implement sanctions on Russia are being hindered by Hungary's veto power. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský has warned that a divided approach would be ineffective in resolving the conflict.
The situation in Ukraine remains a pressing concern, with the proposed peace deal aiming to address the ongoing conflict. Further talks are scheduled in London next week to finalize the plan's details and bring an end to the fighting.
