Withdrawal of troops from Kiev did not happen – the Interior Ministry

However, the documents on the withdrawal of troops are not mentioned.

Отвода войск от Киева не произошло — МВД

Russia has not withdrawn its army from Kiev and Chernihiv, despite statements by the Russian Defense Ministry about “reducing activity” in these areas. This was announced on Tuesday, March 29, by Adviser to the Interior Minister Vadim Denisenko, who decided not to take into account that “reduction of activity without a ceasefire” and “withdrawal of troops” are completely different things.

“Intelligence reports that certain units of Russian troops have begun to leave. But at the same time, fighting continues on the near approaches to Kiev. We do not see at the moment that the Russians are starting to withdraw from their positions. Medinsky said that in the near future the General Staff of the Russian Federation will announce how they are going to leave. But as of now, we see that there is no withdrawal of Russian troops around Kyiv yet, ”Denisenko said.

He stated that now the main theater of action will be other areas, and above all – Donbass.

“I do not believe in the sincere intentions of the Russians to end the war. As of now, Putin's plans remain to win at least some victory, and he believes that the shortest way to victory is the situation in Donbass. We are not talking about any quick talks now. So far, there is only one thing – they said they were going to leave Kiev – here they really have certain problems, they are in a “bag” and can not do anything. They will now concentrate primarily on the Mariupol direction, in the Donbass, “Denisenko said.

He added that he did not yet see a major breakthrough in today's talks or the cessation of hostilities.

It will be recalled that Russia did not promise to withdraw troops. She said (and so far only in words) that she would reduce military activity without stopping the fire.
