NATO: Russian troops not withdrawing from Ukraine, but being repositioned

During his speech at a news conference in Brussels on the Secretary-General's 2021 Annual Report, Stoltenberg said that according to his intelligence, Russian “units are not withdrawing, but are being repositioned.

Russia is trying to regroup, refuel and reinforce its offensive in the Donbas region. We can expect additional actions of the Russian attack that will bring more suffering. We have heard in recent statements that Russia will reduce military operations around Kiev and northern Ukraine. But Russia has repeatedly lied about its intentions, so we can judge it for actions and not for its words.“, Stoltenberg said.

Stoltenberg has called on Russia to end this meaningless war and withdraw all its troops from Ukraine.
