Pull back pledge designed to mislead - Ukraine's military

General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces says the Russian withdrawal pledge is designed to mislead

The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces says the Russian withdrawal pledge is designed to mislead, Qazet.az reports.

In a daily operational update posted to Facebook, the general staff said Russian units were continuing to move away from both Kyiv and Chernihiv. Russia has already said it will now focus on operations in the eastern Donbas region.

Ukraine's military believes the withdrawals "are probably a rotation of individual units" aimed at misleading Ukraine's military leadership and creating a "misconception" about the meaning of their deployment.
