The Russian leader stressed that the responsibility for the bloodshed in Ukraine will be on the conscience of the Ukrainian authorities. The President also called on the Ukrainian troops to "lay down their arms and go home."
Later, the Russian leader called on the Ukrainian military to take power in the country into their own hands, arguing that it would be easier to negotiate with them.
