Russian leader Vladimir Putin has just given a short press conference.Here are the main takeaways:He said that the Minsk peace agreement concerning eastern Ukraine hadn’t been valid for a long time, blaming Ukraine for “killing it off”.He called to “demilitarise modern Ukraine” and said the best decision that Ukraine could take would be to give up on its ambitions to join the NATO alliance.He called a Ukraine that is “armed to the teeth” and “anti-Russia” is “unacceptable”.He said that the actions of troops in Donbas will depend on the situation on the ground, and added that he never said troops would go there immediately. In a possible dig at Western leaders trying to get one step ahead of the Russian leader, he also said that it was “impossible to predict” what the Russian military will do in Donbas.
