Ukraine and European leaders agreed on Saturday to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire from 12 May with the backing of US president Donald Trump, threatening president Vladimir Putin with new “massive” sanctions if he failed to comply.

The announcement was made by the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine after a meeting in Kyiv, during which they held a phone call with Trump.

China will call their bluff because the EU and America are heavily reliant on China.

Especially Europe where the population will directly elect another politician whenever they feel slightly economically inconvenienced by the current one.

For president, the house is every two and Senate has a third up for reelection every two years.

Its a shithole country with fantasies of monarchy, lets not pretend they are showing stability because Europe has different dates for elections.
