Kallas: Russia has no intention of stopping the war anytime soon
EU's Kaja Kallas emphasised that even during the Alaska summit, Russia resumed its attacks on Ukrainian territory. She said Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is "still trying to stall and hoping it will go without consequences."
"He left Anchorage without making any commitment to stop the killing," the official added.

In her opinion, the war will not stop until Russia "realises that it is no longer possible to continue it".
Therefore, Europe will continue to strengthen its support for Ukraine, including through the preparation of a new, 19th package of sanctions against Moscow, the European official assured.

Kallas noted that European security issues cannot be a bargaining chip.
"The root of the war lies in Russia's imperialist policy, not in the alleged imbalance of the European security architecture," she concluded.

Sanctions will not work because russia is getting help from china, india. EU, USA and the west needs to put embargo, heavy sanctions and even threat of attack to india to stop it trading with russia. Otherwise putting sanctions is of no use.
India refines the oil and sends oil products to the West. They are very vulnerable to sanctions actually.
China though, I don't even know what kind of leverage the united West could have on it, and the West is far from being united right now.
They would have to stop arming Taiwan. The Chinese are backing Russia because their leaders believe powerful nations should have a right to eliminate "threats" near their borders. But I think it is also more likely that China received secret promises and material concessions from Russia over Taiwan and other nations.
