U.S. Prepares More Ukrainian Aid as Pentagon Says Russian Withdrawal is a Ruse – The Pentagon reportedly believes that the Russian withdrawal in Western Ukraine could be a sign that troops are preparing new offensives in the east of Ukraine. While “small numbers” of Russian troops have been seen repositioning to the north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, Pentagon officials reportedly believe that Russian troops are preparing to move into the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine.
Consistent with our reporting on the conflict, and with comments from the Kremlin, the Pentagon believes that Russian forces will move to a second phase of the invasion that will focus on the “liberation” of the eastern region of Donbas.
“We’re seeing a small number now that appears to be moving away from Kyiv,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday. “This on the same day that the Russians say they’re withdrawing, but we’re not prepared to call this a retreat, or even a withdrawal. What they probably have in mind is a repositioning to prioritize elsewhere.”
