Crisis in Ukraine: “We hear but do not see withdrawal” of Russian troops

The Russian western military sector announced today that Russian armed forces have begun to return to their permanent military bases after loading tanks and other military vehicles into railroad cars. At the same time, according to the BBC, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he did not yet see any withdrawal of Russian troops from positions near the border with Ukraine.

Russia has amassed troops near Ukraine, fueling fears that it plans to attack its neighboring country. Moscow denies having such plans.

Its southern military sector Russia announced that other forces that had surrounded Ukraine today were withdrawing, but NATO called on Moscow to prove that it was withdrawing its troops, saying that there were indications that other troops were on the way.

Meanwhile, according to the BBC and the Athens News Agency, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that he does not yet see any withdrawal of Russian troops from positions near the border with Ukraine.

“To be honest, we react to the reality we have, and we do not see any departure yet, we just heard about it“, Said Zelensky, according to the BBC, during a visit to western Ukraine.

“I believe that all normal people expect de-escalation. As for the threat, I have said many times that we are calm about any threats, because we remember that it all did not start yesterday. It has been happening for many years.

»When the troops withdraw, everyone will see it… but for now it is just a statement“, Said the Ukrainian president.
