“I don’t want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute”.

"As long as Russia sits on Crimea, Ukraine will never be safe."

It would have been the first major truce 11 months after Russia's invasion.
It comes after Moscow tried to blame a recent failure on low-level Russian soldiers.
