Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that the invasion of Ukraine will only stop if Ukraine’s military “ceases hostilities and fulfills Russia’s well-known requirement,” according to a Kremlin statement.

“The readiness of the Russian side for dialogue with Ukrainian authorities and with foreign partners to resolve the conflict was confirmed,” the Kremlin quoted Putin as saying in a call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to state media.
