Russia says it's withdrawing troops from Ukraine border, what does it mean? - BBC News

Russia has made two statements in the last two days that it is withdrawing some forces from the Ukraine border. However Nato leaders however say that they have not seen any deescalation on the ground.

Both Russia and the West say that the diplomatic door is still open but there are still concerns about the future in Ukraine.

There is a big gap between what Russia says and what Russia does.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

They are moving old tanks from the border while moving newer tank models toward the border. It’s a shell game.

I will believe it when I see them back at the barracks

[MrEjidorie]

It`s too early to feel relieved about the Ukranian situation unless withdrawing of the Russian troops is verified. I sincerely hope that this withdrawal of Russian military personnel is true and it will de-escalate the Unrainian situation.

Russia "okay were leaving "
Ukraine "I don't believe you"

[marcusj]

Russian:- You don't join NATO or we'll attack you 😡
Ukraine:- We're joining NATO so you don't attack us 🥶

Russia: Builds up over 100k trooper around Ukraine
Russia: "We don't want war, stop overreacting."

[Betts]

Ukraine remains strong. God Bless Ukraine.💜💜💜

Support for Ukraine from Kazakhstan. Be free and defend your land.

They mean the same thing they said when they claimed to be withdrawing troops from Georgia, or that it wasn’t their soldiers showing up in Crimea

Prayers for protection of Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️

It’s a tactic that has been used before In the world wars to take Ukraine off guard, saying they’re withdrawing troops but instead preparing more troops for a big attack.
