Russia tells Ukraine it will halt its onslaught ‘in a moment’ if Kyiv meets demands

Russia has told Ukraine it will stop its onslaught ‘in a moment’ if Kyiv meets a raft of Kremlin conditions as the two sides meet for a third round of ‘peace talks.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today that Russia is demanding that Ukraine cease military action, change its constitution to enshrine neutrality, acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory and recognise the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent territories.
