Quote from Kornelius: "The clock is ticking– there are still twelve hours until the end of the day.".

Details: Kornelius said that Russia must agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine by the end of Monday, or it will face new sanctions.

In response to a question about whether this means that European countries will start preparing sanctions after Monday, Kornelius said: "Exactly".
