BREAKING: Russia Pulling Some Forces Back From Ukraine Border

German Chancellor Scholz emphasises solidarity with Ukraine ahead of Moscow trip


15 Feb 2022 Sky News


Russia says it is pulling some of its forces back from its border with Ukraine.



The defence ministry said some western and southern troops would be heading back to their permanent bases after finishing training exercises.

It comes following a warning from Foreign Secretary Liz Truss that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen at any time.

A statement from Russia said: "Units of the Southern and Western Military Districts, which have accomplished their missions, are boarding trains and trucks and will head for their garrisons later today.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ukrainian President Vodolymyr Zelenskyy held talks in Kyiv on Monday amid fears Russia might invade Ukraine.

After the meeting, Scholz stressed Germany's support for Ukraine.



"Germany stands close by your side," Scholz said at a press conference after the sit-down. "My country is impressed by the democratic movement in Ukraine and supports the European path it has taken since 2014," he added.

Scholz has held firm on Germany's opposition to sending lethal weaponry to Ukraine amid a massive Russian troop buildup.

Germany has said it plans to send more than 300 troops to Lithuania to bolster NATO's eastern flank.

The first contingent of German troop reinforcements arrived in Kaunas on Monday.

70 troops arrived on an A400M German Luftwaffe plane at Kaunas airport, along with around 100 howitzer cannons and military vehicles.

The German Defense Ministry had announced plans last week to send an additional 380 soldiers to Lithuania and more arrivals are expected throughout the week.
