Talks at the European Political Community summit in Tirana will center on significantly tightening sanctions against Moscow, Politico reported on May 16, citing four unnamed European officials.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> arrived for the summit in Albania after a visit to Turkey where Ukrainian and Russian delegations met in Istanbul on May 16 for their first direct talks since 2022.<\/p>\n

Kyiv expects to discuss an unconditional ceasefire and a potential meeting between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine agreed to the ceasefire back in March, while Moscow has so far ignored the proposal.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in Albania that Putin cannot be trusted, the Kyiv Independent journalist reported.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the 17th package of sanctions<\/a>, EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said that political isolation is an important factor in putting pressure on Russia. <\/p>\n

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the next set of EU sanctions will target Nord Stream<\/a>, more “shadow fleet” listings, a lower oil price cap, and new measures targeting Russian and third-country banks aiding the war effort, according to the Kyiv Independent reporter.<\/p>\n

Previously, President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of the U.K., France, Germany, and Poland have pledged to impose additional sanctions<\/a> against Russia if the Kremlin does not accept their proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire.<\/p>\n
