Russia is looking to use the US proposals to end the war in Ukraine to stall sanctions from Washington and EU talks on using Moscow's frozen assets to fund Kyiv, the bloc's top diplomat said Friday.

"Today is supposed to be the day when the US sanctions against Russia will kick in. I hope we don't see today a decision that these sanctions are postponed, because then this is exactly what Russia wants," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.
