The Kremlin issued a statement on Wednesday urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to promptly withdraw his military forces from the Donbas region.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that this withdrawal should have occurred already to terminate what they termed the 'hot phase' of the ongoing conflict.
This call was a direct response to Zelenskiy's earlier announcement that Russia had set a two-month deadline for a Ukrainian pullout, failing which tougher terms would be imposed in any forthcoming peace negotiations.
