President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that agreements with [Russian President] Vladimir Putin at the first stage of terminating the war in Donbas had been fulfilled.

"I believe that the first stage has been completed.

"It seems to me that we all took the first step, everything else depends on him ... I'm sure we know what to do next ... Next, we will be moving towards the return of all our prisoners and continue the troop withdrawal within the Minsk process in two stages: Zolote, Petrovske first, and then withdrawal throughout the entire territory and already a full ceasefire and an end to the war," Zelensky emphasized.
