Some troops in Russia’s military districts adjacent to Ukraine are returning to their bases after completing drills, Russia’s defence ministry was quoted as saying, a move that could de-escalate frictions between Moscow and the West.
Russia’s Interfax news agency cited the ministry as saying that while large-scale drills across the country continued, some units of the Southern and Western military districts have completed their exercises and started returning to base.
Al Jazeera has reporters standing by in Moscow and Belarus to cover the story: we are joined by Dorsa Jabbari in Moscow and Step Vaessen is in western Belarus for the latest updates.

Psychological wars in place boom!!!!
Helps keep the price of oil up.
Can also be opposit one .
This is good news from east 🙌
NATO says nothing has pulled back but repositioned.
Good, they chickened out. Let’s hope they don’t come back.
Be aware Puting is a master strategist, these troop withdrawals may only be a trick to put Ukrainians at ease so that he can strike on Wednesday.
journalists are not to blame for being dragged into this shameless information war. The clowning continues. God, it’s like watching a trash movie.
Russia wins west loose

American and british weapons of their taxpayers that were given to Ukraine.. a total waste 🤣🤣

Worlds 🌎 biggest buff game.
“War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.” – George Orwell
“Be weak when you are strong
Be strong when you are weak”. [the art of war]
“Russia says…” and what follows regardless of that it is should never be trusted. Ever.
Somebody to tell NATO is the objective to destroy, not the poor ukrania.
Take Putin out
I’m tired of these megalomaniac bully criminal tyrants
(most) western mainstream media really is garbage
We prey for wards
Putin you bow before the ledger of the law but you violate the heart of the law.
America should use this opportunity to move its military out of Europe and save billions of taxdollars to pay off its debts.
Exercises 🙄🙄 with demands 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Putin coward haha
As always Media, US, UK and the west wants this war coz America is involve again with this non sense accusations..remember what Bush and Blair did in Iraq .. So called Weapon of Mass Destruction..think all of you intelligent people not just what media is trying to feed you 🤷♂️

Sanity will prevail at the end of the day!
One lesson that can be learnt from this episode is never to allow a bully to have his or her 😕 😔 😞 🤔 way.
I praise 👏 🙌 the UKRAINIANS for their steadfastness and collective 🤝 unity 🤝 ✌
Muslim fundamentalist radio knows the truth Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa
Putin wont attack Ukraine because there is a power higher than him who gave an order not to push a war and thats GOD THE FATHER.🙏🙏🙏end of the story.
I dont believe before i see that…
Nope. Forces have not left. Literally Zero evidence of a troop draw down. Al Jazeera lies
Put_in lies.
This highly promoted by western politicians and media invasion already didn’t happen in November, December and January.
You all, my friends, will see tomorrow it never happens on the 16th of February and on as well)
I’m only wondering how long they can continue this hysteria about the imaginary invasion? A year more?)
Media creates War & put fear amongst people.
Putin might be doubt he will lose the fight its better for you to go home holding your eggs putin
Military exercise by Russia?? WTF??
Ukraine funded with Military equipment by US??
It’s all part of a plan and bigger picture and we all will be affected in some way shape or fashion. When whatever it is comes to fruition. Much love everyone!! 🇺🇸
Russian never ever ATTACKS at any COST on UKRAINE 🇺🇦 I don’t know why UKRAINE officials including PM sending messages on fb OR social media . AMAZING 👏 why PM of UKRAINE using others WORDS very Sad
They were waiting for Valentine’s day. Now it’s over so it’s war time😄😄😄😄
Time for Russia to start imposing all kind of sanctions on USA.

I support Russia
Thnk God. Russian forces along Ukraine- Russia border have started backing down. Thnks to the prayers, to the diplomatic talks of U.S, European leaders with Russia leader, Vladimir Putin. And also thanks to Pres. Putin for heeding the appeal of western leaders for a peacful resolution of the crisis/ conflict.
The Power of USA. GOD BLESS AMERICA
i don’t know if i believe much coming from this terrorist news source
We got Russia so beat down they can’t move on their own land
Peace
They didn’t want the heat 💪
This is getting tiring, they’re doing this to intimidate the West and it’s obviously working with the media adding fuel to the fire. Cover the Russian Proxies that are actively occupying and fighting Ukraine.
Good…for both russia and ukrain…war only destroy common people …sanity must prevail…respect Russia for not falling into provocative trap of war needlessly…From Pakistan
Biden :WTF???😱😱
Cowardly Russia. Only good with cowardly airstrikes against ill-equipped jihadist groups
President Putin is always, more wiser and smarter: Than alots of Western Democratically elected leaders.. Who’s America’s stooges Addicted to unjustified war’s and illegal regime changes. Thus unable to restore lasting peace, and security afterwards.. In this very politically and diplomatically, messed-up troublesome world.. In terms of food security climate change and outbreaks of deadliest Viruses.. Common sense shall pravils to prevent further chaotic and human sufferings..
Russia is too weak to attack Ukraine. Putin is bad game player. His bluffing was very bad and USA overplayed Russia. Well done.
Russia got balls of steel,
but
Ukraine is just plastic toy ball.
Putin is almost through with his very expensive military drama and i dont think the world will admire him its a nonesense military drama.ukraine is a very quiet country and putin can afford to create issues out of his very negative imagination
US not ready to war with Russia.. Why? Hypersonic missiles of US under development.
We are not afraid of the Russians, our military and volunteers are ready to tear them with their teeth.
We have been at war with the evil empire for more than 300 years, we know them better than anyone in the world.
All their strengths and weaknesses. This is a very vile and inhuman enemy, but we will win!
Oh ok then. 🙃
What about the 100k Ukrainian troops on the border?
Praise 👏 Jesus for peace ✌️
No more wars
Love one another
Sad day for zionists!! Europe didnt fell into the trap!!
It’s a crisis of beurocracy and media propagsnda
Maybe their returning to their bases is nothing more than “rotation.”
The mud was something they had to consider as the tanks had been stuck for many days , some all the way to the Turret ! To many tanks and narrow attack lanes make it to easy a target from airborne eyes .
RUSSIAN FORCES IN THE RUSSIAN BORDER ….NEAR UKRAINE. TWISTING THE NEW ALWAYS.
Russian forces will return with a vengeance if NATO insurgents don’t sod off out of countries bordering their sacred motherland….
Mind Begs the Question:
NATO equipped to War
Russia over Ukraine
NATO not equipped to War
China over Concentration Camps?
Not nato.
Sure miss.
شما آمریکایی ها فکر می کنید ملتها نمی بینند دارین چکار می کنین .چرا می خواهید اوکراین رو وارد جنگ کنید بخاطر منافع خودتون
We are talking about Russia. No, we don’t, Sergey Lavrov and Putin are Russian and playing cat and mouse games to protect themselves to show some heavy muscle and are the only two people that invaded Russia from within! Again, and let me repeat, again…nobody has any intention to invade Russia, in fact, get rid of those two corrupted criminals and invite Russia to join the free world, connect with the EU and only peace will follow! Putin is a KGB criminal with an appalling record that stretches out as long as the “Belt and Road Project” an incapable president being the worst enemy of his own people. Putin controls ALL the levels with the superpower to reign in infinity. That is a possibility horrendous for the world – and even more so for the Russian People!
Thank goodness!#
Worldwide Petro prices record high.
Scam Ukraine crisis hyped by the Western msm, concocted to distract from senle Joe’s incompetence ahead of the coming mid-term elections.
I love you 💗💗💗💗
All millitary must have A Base… N will move Any time. To seek a Green Light. For better country. Stability n economy Territory
Do Russians want war?
Russians don’t want any war! They never do!
While the West is hysterically threatened by a Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia is doing everything to convince NATO and Western countries to moderate aggression and not build up weapons at Russian borders.
Vladimir Putin is holding dialogues with European leaders in the Kremlin — only within recent days, while Western journalists set dates for the Russian “invasion”, the French President and German Chancellor visited the Kremlin. The hope remains that the West will hear Russia’s concern — after all, no one gives guarantees that neighboring Ukraine will not become a member of NATO. And having a hostile country as a neighbor is not in the interests of Russia. We need guarantees for our safety. Because while Russia is withdrawing troops from the boarders where they exercise, NATO is supplying Ukraine with weapons, as if pushing it to provoke to drag Russia into the war. Russia is fighting only in case when defending its territory and never invades its neighbors first.
Хотят ли русские войны?
Да не хотят русские войны! Никогда не хотят!
Пока Запад истерично грозит российским вторжением на Украину, Россия делает все, чтобы убедить НАТО и западные страны умерить агрессию и не наращивать вооружения у российских границ.
Владимир Путин проводит в Кремле переговоры с европейскими лидерами – только за последние дни, пока западные журналисты назначают даты российского «вторжения», в Кремле побывали президент Франции и канцлер Германии. Остаётся надежда, что Запад услышит озабоченность России – ведь гарантий того, что соседняя Украина не станет членом НАТО никто не даёт. А иметь в соседях враждебную страну не в интересах России. Нам нужны гарантии нашей безопасности. Потому что пока Россия отводит войска с учений вглубь страны, НАТО снабжает Украину оружием, словно подталкивая ее к провокациям, чтобы втянуть Россию в войну. На Россия воюет только, защищая свою территорию и никогда не вторгается первой к соседям.
But the west is say that there lying and that they just deployed 7 thousand more troops near the border
The world need peace we train to fight, but at the end we all are human beings 🙏
what a bullshit haha
Meanwhile in Canada…
Kannoni aparadh mantralay Bharat sarakar Mahadev sarakar bhalki
Pls… no to war….many inocent will kill
UNO, not NATO. Democratic UNO, powerful UNO, developed countries led UNSC. 👍👍👍👍 OTHERWISE WARS WILL BE ON AND ON.
Fake news – now signs of return stil..
Sometime War Is The Most Purest Thing To Win
America must stop playing war! Woe to NATO if it expands to the East. Russia no longer tolerates NATO’s dangerous steps. Serious trouble for America. Ukraine will never be a NATO member. Russia invades only if Ukraine asks America for reinforcements.
poor media exaggerating the situation
🇧🇩🙏🇷🇺
Don’t believe the news
Amrica is not friend u krain people
Pulling back cuz the drill with mapping has been done., Returning to bases to lessen the tension and for the final plan of invasion
USA Fake News
Russia wont invade, its economy cant handle such devastation, putin cant afford to lose this much for 1 country. Putin is doing this because he wants to scare NATO and the EU, he has demands. It is the United States that is pushing the narrative that Russia is “actually” gonna invade because they have leaders who are literal war freaks. Their leaders are willing to spend money for blood, suffering, and death rather than spending it on Education, Healthcare, and to build a better system.
People mostly from developed nations are in the comments going against war meanwhile many of those from the underdeveloped world are wanting war, you can see the reason why they’re still stuck there lmao, it makes sense.
I support Ukraine. Stop ✋ russia 🇷🇺
Vikendi map
OOPS.
WE THANKFUL WITH ALL OUR HEARTS TO GERMAN PRESIDENT FOR HELPING UKRAINE EVIL PUTIN LIKES TO KILL ALL UKRAINE PEOPLE
And Russia Lies!!
