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 on Tuesday, 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.
Russia has amassed over
100,000 troops near Ukraine's borders, prompting fears of an
invasion, especially as Moscow's Feb. 10-20 joint drills with Belarus mean
that Ukraine is almost encircled by the Russian military.
Russian markets reacted positively to the news and the
rouble, which has been under pressure due to fears of fresh Western sanctions
in the event of a war, gained 1.5% shortly after the defence ministry
announcement.
Although Moscow has denied ever planning to
attack Ukraine, it has demanded legally binding guarantees from the United
States and NATO that Kyiv will not be allowed to join the military bloc.
Washington and Brussels have so far refused to make such pledges.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was expected in Moscow later
on Tuesday to meet President Vladimir Putin in a high stakes mission to avert
war.
