  • Story Text: The Kremlin said on Wednesday (April 1) that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy should have taken the difficult decision to withdraw his forces from the Donbas area "yesterday" in order to end what it called the "hot phase" of the war.
    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comments in response to a question about remarks made a day earlier by Zelenskiy who reportedly said that Moscow had given Ukraine a two-month deadline to withdraw its troops from Donbas or face tougher terms in any potential peace agreement.
