US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced a “very careful” US monitoring of the withdrawal of Russian armed forces from the border with Ukraine.
A journalist for CBS, which released an interview with the foreign minister, asked Blinken, “Has it been confirmed that they are withdrawing?” To this, the Secretary of State replied that the American side is following this very closely.
In recent weeks, Western countries have repeatedly expressed concern over statements by the Ukrainian military about a build-up of Russian forces along the border with Ukraine. According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, the movement of Russian troops through the territory of Russia should not bother other countries, since it does not threaten them in any way.
