When Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014, it quickly annexed Crimea and sent its troops to Ukraine’s eastern regions.

Moscow’s primary target was the Donbas, the area which includes two of Ukraine’s regions, Donetsk and Luhansk.

Washington has ramped up its pressure on Kyiv, forcing Ukraine into significant concessions, while Russia’s commitment would be to “simply stop fighting," US President Donald Trump said earlier.
