The call comes on a day when talks between Russia and Ukraine to discuss a ceasefire in the eastern European country ended with no agreement. While both parties said that they would consult the powers that be and discuss terms again, hinting at another meeting in the near future, the situation in Ukraine remains tense and uncertain as Russian forces continue their advance into Ukraine.

Since the invasion began, hundreds have reportedly died on both sides, and more than half-a-million Ukrainians have fled the country to escape the conflict. As the situation continues to deteriorates, eyes are on world leaders to see how they respond to the evolving situation.
