Zelensky asserts that “so far” he has not seen any withdrawal of the Russian army on the border

The same skepticism that is spreading within NATO about Russia’s true intentions with the announcement of its withdrawal yesterday is shared by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. In an interview with Britain’s BBC, the president said he “still” did not “see” any withdrawal of Russian forces, despite messages from Moscow in the last hours. “We just heard it,” he added.

In his first public statement on the alleged partial withdrawal of Russian troops, Zelensky explained: “Frankly, we are reacting to reality.” “At the moment, these are just statements,” he added.

Ukraine’s president, noting that “all ordinary people expect de-escalation” of current tensions, reiterated his “calm” in the face of the potential “threat” of a military invasion of Ukraine. “We are calm because all this did not start yesterday, it has been happening for many years,” Zelensky added, referring to the conflict that began in 2014 in the separatist regions of eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea by Russia.

The president also delivered a Unity Day speech on Wednesday, which Zelensky made to coincide with the date the United States retracted a possible Russian aggression against Ukraine. “Only together can we protect our home,” he said. (evening)
