The head of the Ministry of Defense reported that «a part of the exercises is coming to an end, a part will be completed in the near future.» The Southern and Western military districts of the Russian Federation have begun returning troops to their places of deployment, Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Tuesday. The withdrawal of the military to their places of deployment after the exercises is a common practice, there is nothing new in this, Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to a question whether the withdrawal of troops means a de-escalation of the situation around Ukraine. At the same time, Peskov, answering a question from journalists about NATO statements about the absence of signs of de-escalation on the border with Ukraine, noted that NATO has problems in the system for assessing the situation. jpg» />Zelensky announced the need to immediately impose sanctions against RussiaPosted: Daria Buimova
