- The Russian-installed head of Ukraine's Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, told Russian president Vladimir Putin at a meeting shown on state TV on Tuesday that Ukraine controls around 15-17% of the region.

Russia claims the whole of the Donetsk region as part of Russia and says it is protected by Russia's nuclear umbrella.

Ukraine says it will never recognise Russia's control over part of Donetsk and other Ukrainian regions partially or fully held by Russia.
