Russia has not yet removed its troops from the border with Ukraine, despite the fact that its military exercises have allegedly ended.
National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) information and analytical center spokesman Andriy Lysenko said this at a briefing on Tuesday.
“We watched the beginning of the movement of Russian troops that were stationed along the Ukrainian-Russian border in Russia. However, we cannot state that they all were sent to their bases. Most of them are still on the ground,” Lysenko said.
As reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly instructed the Defense Ministry to return Russian troops from Rostov region to their bases.
