United Kingdom's Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Thursday that now it is "not the time to lift sanctions" against Russia.
"What came out most strongly from the meeting was [that] so many countries stand against [Russia] - as they've stood for over three years now with Ukraine, standing in this crucial moment for as long as it takes for them," Starmer told reporters after the Ukraine summit in Paris.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that more pressure must be exerted on Russia, adding that everyone sees that "Russia, today, doesn't want any kind of peace." He also noted that Kiev will continue to work with its European allies on providing security guarantees for Ukraine.
