Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country would carry on fighting in Ukraine if a peace deal could not be reached.
Putin said he thought there was "light at the end of the tunnel", but promised to continue fighting and claimed his troops were "advancing on all fronts".
"Let's see how the situation develops. If not, then we will have to resolve all our tasks militarily," Putin told reporters.
