Ukraine confirms withdrawal of Russian troops from the border, but only in one direction - Serhiy Deineko
Russia began a partial withdrawal of troops from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. At the same time, the withdrawal of Russian troops from the eastern border of Ukraine in the Voronezh region has not been observed. This was stated in an interview with RBC-Ukraine by the head of the State Border Service Sergey Deineko.
At the same time, according to him, Russia has not yet withdrawn troops near the eastern borders of Ukraine.
“After the announced statement of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Shoigu that from April 23 they will begin the withdrawal of troops, indeed, our intelligence observes that this process has partially begun... At the moment we see this process in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea,” he said.
In particular, there remains an accumulation of forces and equipment of the enemy in military camps near Voronezh and the city of Boguchar in the Voronezh region. The last is a few tens of kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
“As for those field camps in the Voronezh region, we do not see any movement there at the moment,” the head of the State Fiscal Service said.
He said border guards will continue to monitor these processes. In his opinion, it is too early to talk about the fact that Russia will withdraw all its troops from the borders of Ukraine.
