The Kremlin today condemned the "controversial" attitude of Europeans towards Russia and "contradictory statements by Europe".
Those statements are "mostly based on confrontation, rather than attempts to revive our relations," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He did not speak directly about today's ultimatum from Ukraine's EU allies, as well as the US, seeking to force Russia to accept a 30-day "complete and unconditional" ceasefire in Ukraine starting Monday.
Otherwise, Moscow will be exposed to new "massive" sanctions from the West that would include its banking and energy sectors, along with greater military assistance to Ukraine.
The leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Poland met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev today and delivered that message to Moscow.
