Kremlin blasts EU 'ultimatums' over Ukraine ceasefire pressure

The Kremlin on Monday said "ultimatums" to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine were "unacceptable" after EU leaders said Moscow had until midnight Monday to agree to a joint proposal with Kyiv for a 30-day halt to the fighting.

"The language of ultimatums is unacceptable to Russia, it is not appropriate. You cannot talk to Russia in such a language," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists during a briefing call.
