Moscow will only agree to a full ceasefire if Ukrainian troops pull back from the four regions that Russia partially controls, according to a copy of a negotiating document published by the state news agencies on Monday.

The memorandum was handed over to Ukraine during the second round of talks in Istanbul, and confirmed Russia’s maximalist claims to the four partly occupied Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
