Russian troops are not withdrawing, but re-positioning: NATO Secretary-General

By a Staff Reporter: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday he hoped Russia's additional offensive action would bring more suffering. Secretary-General Stoltenberg said, "According to intelligence, Russian units are not withdrawing but repositioning. Russia is trying to reorganize, re-supply and strengthen its offensive in the Donbass region. At the same time, Russia has maintained pressure on Kiev and other cities. "We've heard recent statements that Russia will reduce military operations around Kiev and northern Ukraine," Stoltenberg said. But Russia has repeatedly lied about its intentions, so we can only judge Russia on its actions, not in its words.
