Zelenskyy: Moscow seeks control of Donbas within two months

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Russia is demanding Ukrainian forces withdraw from the Donbas region within two months, warning that the terms of any potential peace agreement could worsen if the condition is not met.

According to Zelenskyy, the message was conveyed through U.S. mediators, Caliber.Az reports per Russian media. 

He said Russia expects to take full control of Donbas within that timeframe, expressing skepticism about the feasibility of such an outcome and questioning why anyone would still consider it realistic.
