US EditionKremlin Says Ukraine Should Withdraw Troops From Donbas ...
The Kremlin warned Ukraine risks losing more territory without troop withdrawal from Donbas, where Russia controls about 90%, officials said.
- On Dec 29, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov urged Ukraine to withdraw forces from parts of Donbas it still controls to secure peace, Reuters in Moscow reported.
- Following Moscow's account of the leaders' exchange, Dmitry Peskov paraphrased U.S. President Donald Trump's remark that Kyiv could lose more territory over coming months unless a deal was struck after a Sunday call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump.
- Quoting the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov said `We are talking about the withdrawal of the regime's armed forces from the Donbas` and cited Russian estimates that Russia controls a fifth of Ukraine, about 90% of Donbas, and 75% of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
- Peskov said no Putin–Zelenskiy call was being discussed while adding another call was planned very soon.
- The Kremlin framed its stance amid broader territorial claims as Russia asserts Donbas, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions belong to it, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to discuss if withdrawal orders apply beyond Donbas.
