Russian President Vladimir Putin vows to continue fighting against what he describes as nationalists in Ukraine and says the Kremlin could add to its demands at negotiations if Kyiv stalls talks.
“Russia intends to continue the uncompromising fight against militants of nationalist armed groups,” Putin says according to a readout of a call with French leader Emmanuel Macron, which added that attempts to slow conflict talks would “only lead to additional demands on Kyiv in our negotiating position.”
Putin also tells Macron he disagreed with a speech the French leader gave the day before about Ukraine.
