In fact, it is a redeployment, and the displaced forces can use it anywhere in Ukraine.
The US Department of Defense warned that although a “small number” of Russian troops had withdrawn from Kiev, Russia could still use “mass brutality” against Ukraine, including the capital. This was reported by CNN with reference to a briefing by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
“We believe that this is a redeployment, not a real departure, and we must all be ready for a significant offensive in other regions of Ukraine. This does not mean that Kyiv is no longer under threat, “Kirby said.
According to him, the number of Russian forces leaving Kyiv “is not close to the majority” from those moved to the capital. The spokesman reminded that Russia “even today” continued to carry out air strikes on the city.
“No one should be fooled by the Kremlin's recent statement that it will suddenly reduce military attacks near Kiev, or by any reports that it is going to withdraw all its troops,” Kirby said.
He noted that the Russians are moving north of Kiev, but “it is too early” to talk about the final destination. Kirby added that the displaced forces could be used elsewhere in Ukraine: “We don't know exactly where.”
Earlier, Biden said that the United States will continue to supply defense assistance to Ukraine , despite reports from Russia of a “sharp reduction in hostilities” in Kiev and Chernihiv regions.
