The Kremlin called Kiev's decision on Donbas necessary to stop the fighting.

Moscow considers the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics to be a bold and responsible step on the part of Kiev in relation to Donbass. This was announced on December 29 by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

"Of course, this is the withdrawal of the armed forces of the regime from Donbass beyond the administrative borders," he said at a briefing.
