The Kremlin's leader Vladimir Putin stated that "hostilities in Ukraine will cease when the Armed Forces of Ukraine leave the territories they occupy in Donbas." He said this to journalists during a state visit to Kyrgyzstan, reports Ukrainian Pravda.
"The Ukrainian troops will leave the territories they occupy – then hostilities will stop. If they do not leave – then we will achieve this through military means."
