“There is an indication that Russian forces reunited to focus their efforts in East Ukraine,” said the Ukrainian General Staff in a statement on Tuesday night. “At the same time, called ‘troop withdrawal’ is likely to be a rotation of individual units and aimed at misleading Ukrainian military leadership” by creating a misunderstanding that Russia decided not to try to surround Kyiv.

Negotiations are expected to continue on Wednesday, five weeks into what has turned into a bloody friction war, with thousands of dead people and nearly 4 million Ukrainians escaped from the country.
