The Kremlin has demanded that Ukraine recognise Crimea as Russian and Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states if the invasion is to end.
Ahead of peace talks this afternoon, a spokesperson for the Russian government outlined what Vladimir Putin wants from the invasion.
They said that Russia would "continue with the demilitarisation of Ukraine", suggesting the country's army would have be dissolved or reduced significantly for the Kremlin to call the war off.
