Moscow March 3 2022: Russian President Vladimir Putin has told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that Russia will successfully demilitarise Ukraine and render it neutral, which he said were his goals there.
According to a read-out of the telephone call, Putin said that any attempt by Ukraine to delay negotiations would only result in Russia adding to its list of demands.
