“Intelligence reports that certain parts of the Russian troops began to leave. But at the same time, fighting continues on the near approaches to Kiev. We do not currently see that the Russians are starting to withdraw from their positions.. Medinsky said that in the near future the General Staff of the Russian Federation will publish how they are going to leave. But as of now, we see that there is no withdrawal of Russian troops around Kyiv yet,” Denisenko said..

He said that now the main theater of action will be other areas, and above all - the Donbass..

“I do not believe in the sincere intentions of the Russians to end the war. As of now, Putin's plans remain the desire to get at least some kind of victory, and he believes that the shortest path to victory is the situation in the Donbass. There is no talk of any quick negotiations now. So far, only one thing has been said - they said that they were going to leave Kyiv - here they really have certain problems, they are in a “bag” and cannot do anything. They will now concentrate primarily on the Mariupol direction, in the Donbass,"

And he added that he still does not see a serious breakthrough either in today's negotiations or in cessation of fighting..
