European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, emphasize that appeasement is not the answer to Putin's demands. Meanwhile, Putin's post-talks announcement adds complexity to the ongoing geopolitical tensions. Explore the fallout and reactions in this detailed update.

foreign brands of electric vehicles
