Time to up pressure on Moscow, says Ukrainian minister

Brussels [Belgium], April 4: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on Thursday urged NATO allies to up the pressure on Russia, as Kiev's Western partners are looking to respond to the increasing threat posed by Moscow.
"Russia remains an existential threat to Europe," Sybiha said ahead of consultations at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels.
While Ukraine had agreed to a US proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, Russian President Vladimir Putin "talks about demands and conditions," he said, speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
"Russia must get serious about peace," he added. "For this, it is time to increase pressure on Moscow."
Russia said it has agreed to a US-brokered limited ceasefire to halt mutual attacks on energy facilities, but both sides have accused each other of violating the agreement. So far, Moscow has opposed an unconditional ceasefire.
