Russia Announces That It Will Withdraw Some Troops Near Ukraine
Russia’s defense ministry said on Tuesday that it is pulling back some troops from the border with Ukraine, according to multiple reports.
The reports indicated that the Russian troops were returning to their bases after completing exercises near Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials, however, remain skeptical.
“Russia constantly makes various statements,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, according to The Associated Press. “That’s why we have the rule: We won’t believe when we hear, we’ll believe when we see. When we see troops pulling out, we’ll believe in de-escalation.”
