BRUSSELS: Germany is still counting on the US to pile more pressure on Russia for an immediate ceasefire in its war on Ukraine, Berlin said on Tuesday, despite a call between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin that did not yield progress in that respect.
“We have repeatedly made it clear that we expect one thing from Russia — an immediate ceasefire without preconditions,” German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels.
“It is sobering to see that Russia has not taken this step, and we will have to react. We also expect our US allies not to tolerate this.”
He added that there was a lot of readiness both in the European Union and in the United States to consider more sanctions on Moscow but did not give any details what additional sanctions might look like.

Medical transport plane crashes in India with seven aboard
NEW DELHI: A chartered air ambulance with seven people on board crashed in eastern India on Monday, the country’s aviation regulator said.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said the Beechcraft C90 operating a “medical evacuation (Air Ambulance) flight” crashed in the Kasaria area of the eastern state of Jharkahnd.
The fate of the seven people, including two crew members, was not immediately known.
The DGCA said in a statement posted late Monday on social media that a “search and rescue team is at the location,” adding the a team of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau was also being dispatched.
The aircraft operated by Redbird Airways Pvt Ltd. had taken off Monday evening from Ranchi, capital of Jharkhand, and was flying to Delhi carrying a patient and medical staff.
“The aircraft requested for deviation due to weather” and lost contact with air traffic radar in 23 minutes, DCGA said.
Local media reported the aircraft crashed into a forest.
Last month, a state leader from the western Maharashtra state and four others were killed when their chartered aircraft crashed while landing at the city of Baramati.
