On April 26, U.S. President <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/putin-maybe-doesnt-want-to-stop-the-war-trump-admits\/\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong> said &#8220;banking or secondary sanctions&#8221; should be imposed on Russia amid failed efforts to reach a peace deal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must be united and dissuasive. I believe that we have succeeded, thanks to this meeting at the Vatican, in putting pressure back on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/russia\/\">Russia<\/a><\/strong>,&#8221; Macron said.<\/p>\n<p>President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Trump in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/european-hopes-rise-after-meeting-at-vatican\/\">Vatican<\/a><\/strong> on the sidelines of Pope Francis&#8217;s funeral on April 26.<\/p>\n<p>Macron denounced efforts to pressure <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\">Ukraine<\/a><\/strong> into accepting a peace deal heavy on concessions for Ukraine and not on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was the intended goal, because it was not right for the pressure to be exerted solely on Ukraine,&#8221; Macron said.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/united-states\/\">U.S.<\/a><\/strong> has reportedly weighed recognizing Russian control of Crimea, among other large concessions for Ukraine, including barring Kyiv from pursuing NATO membership. On April 27, Trump said he believes Zelensky is willing to cede control of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/trump-says-he-believes-zelensky-is-ready-to-give-up-crimea-to-russia\/\">Crimea<\/a><\/strong> to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must be prepared, with the Americans, to toughen our stance on Russia to obtain this ceasefire,&#8221; Macron said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe I have convinced the Americans of the possibility of an escalation of threats, and potentially sanctions, to push the Russians to accept this ceasefire,&#8221; Macron said.<\/p>\n<p>On April 28, Putin announced a so-called <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/putin-announces-truce-on-victory-days-80th-anniversary\/\"><strong>&#8220;humanitarian&#8221; truce<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> in Russia&#8217;s war against Ukraine to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>On May 9, Russia holds grandiose military parades in celebration of the end of World War II in Europe. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\"><strong>Ukraine<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> and most European nations mark May 8 as Victory in Europe Day.<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky slammed Putin&#8217;s proposal for a short-lived truce and pointed to Russia&#8217;s strikes on civilian targets on April 28 as proof that Russia does not want to end its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We value human lives, not parades. That\u2019s why we believe \u2014 and the world believes \u2014 that there is no reason to wait until May 8,&#8221; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/volodymyr-zelensky\/\"><strong>Zelensky<\/strong><\/a><\/strong> said.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine has already agreed to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
