Russian President Vladimir Putin's special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, said on Tuesday that Ukraine's withdrawal from the Donbas region was the path to peace.
"Donbas withdrawal is the path to peace for Ukraine," Dmitriev said on X.
Russia controls about 90% of the Donbas region and Putin has repeatedly said that if Ukraine does not give up the rest, then Russia will take it by force.
