Breaking News: Putin Threatens to Invade Donbas, Orders Ukraine to Withdraw or Face Force Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning to Ukraine, stating that its troops must withdraw from the Donbas region or face military force. Putin made the comments during an interview with India Today, saying "Either we liberate these territories by force, or Ukrainian troops will leave these territories." The Donbas region, which Moscow controls around 85% of, has been a focal point of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

However, the details of the plan remain unclear. The situation is escalating rapidly, with the US envoy Steve Witkoff set to meet with Ukraine's team in Florida. The international community is closely watching the developments, with the fate of the Donbas region hanging in the balance.
