Russian President Vladimir Putin is "playing" to "win time and win on the battleground" while Ukraine is "ready for peace," Manfred Weber, the president of the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), has told Euronews.
Speaking in a live interview hours before a crunch summit of EU leaders kicks off in Brussels, Weber said Putin "has no interest to stop the war," adding that the Trump administration in the US is now seeing the "reality that Putin has a clear plan (...) to conquer and occupy Ukraine."
