The Telegraph quotes a source as saying the UK and EU plan further sanctions if Putin opts out of talks with Zelenskyy and Trump.

 

"If Putin was to delay, prevaricate, or refuse to talk, that would provide another impetus for sanctions", he said.

 

The Telegraph’s sources in the UK government also noted that Putin only agreed to meet Trump in Alaska after the US president had imposed sanctions on India for continuing to buy russian oil.
