NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday cast doubt on claims by Russia that it's drawing down some of its 150,000 troops along the border with Ukraine, saying that "at the moment, we have not seen any withdrawal of Russian forces."
"It remains to be seen whether there is a Russian withdrawal ... What we see is that they have increased the number of troops, and more troops are on the way," Stoltenberg added.
On Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry released a video showing a trainload of armored vehicles moving across a bridge away from Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. A day earlier, the ministry reported the start of a pullback of troops following military exercises near Ukraine.
