German government spokesman Stefan Cornelius said on May 12 that Germany would impose sanctions against Russia if Moscow refused to conclude a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine by the end of the day.

"The clock is ticking, there are 12 hours left until the end of the day," the Berliner Zeitung newspaper quoted him as saying.

A spokesman for the German government added that restrictive measures against Russia will be prepared jointly with Berlin's European partners.

Earlier in the day, German Foreign Minister Johann Vadefuhl said that Germany was ready to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine in the absence of a truce.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on May 10 called on Russia to agree on a full 30-day ceasefire.

At the same time, the French leader allowed the introduction of new sanctions in the event of Russia's refusal from Kiev's terms of the truce. In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that intimidating Russia with sanctions is "an empty matter."
