Ukraine hopes to convince the US that a ceasefire must be agreed without prior territorial concessions to Russia, while the country’s European allies stress that any deal must bring a “just peace” and ensure Russia does not resume hostilities in future.
The group of 50 Republican and Democratic senators introduced a proposal on Tuesday to impose a 500 percent tariff on imports from countries that buy fuel and uranium from Russia, if Moscow “refuses to engage in good faith negotiations for a lasting peace with Ukraine.”
The offer comes as some 30 military chiefs from countries keen to help protect an eventual ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine prepared for talks in Britain on Thursday to discuss planning for a peacekeeping force.
The move comes just days after a stunning public clash between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump, who is seeking a rapid end to the war.
