Moscow highlights that these soldiers “have begun to move” to their barracks after their “planned” exercises.
On the day of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine according to the United States, Russia has begun withdrawing its soldiers deployed in northern Ukraine and also those deployed in crimea. However, the US president Joe Bidenstill believes a Russian invasion is very likely this week.
The Russian Government announced this Wednesday the withdrawal of several military units deployed in the Crimean peninsula after having participated in a series of maneuvers in the area, one day after Moscow confirmed that part of the troops deployed near the border with Ukraine they had begun to return to their bases.
Through a statement, the Russian Defense Ministry has stressed that “they have already begun to move to their permanent deployment points after completing combat training” and has highlighted that these troops “participated in planned tactical maneuvers” on the peninsula of Crimea, annexed in 2014.
The tension around Ukraine has increased in recent months due to the deployment of Russian troops along the country’s border, which the international community has understood as a possible preparation for an “invasion”. Russia has denied these accusations and has accused NATO of increasing military activity in the area.
However, the United States (USA) does not trust Russia. US President Joe Biden has confirmed that they have not yet verified that Russian military units are returning to their home bases and believes that it is still “clearly possible” that there is a Russian invasion “this week”.
