Russia announced Saturday that more than 10,000 troops had finished month-long drills near Ukraine, amid Western accusations that Moscow was plotting an invasion of its ex-Soviet neighbour. Vladislav Davidzon, a non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, speaks to FRANCE 24.

maybe "belarus" is a combination of "bellicose and Russia"? Freedom from bullies and tyrants by young people will eventually win…just like what happened to all the old Soviet satellites chose.
I want one of those aks
Both sides are misleading eachother and lying to eachother.
Thanks Russia
In other news, Taiwan moves hundreds of troops from one part of Taiwan to another. Such a move is an obvious threat to mainland China, demanding a military response.
That's basically how you are describing the situation over there on the eastern reaches of NATO.
I want the UK, EU, Canada & US to ready the HARSHEST economic sanctions on Russia. Enough is enough.
So does that mean Russia is going to back off and not start WW3?
Russian win victory
Perhaps they can be put to better use in Chechnya?
nato and western forces like to make war for money
Russia is just waiting on china to do their thing then its on 🤷♀️
You still claim us as aggressors for no reason. We have left your borders.

Gas and sonic boom – scientific warfare makes their displayed weaponry antiquated.
10000 troops go home, they are home, Russian soldiers in Russia???? WTF
I guess everyone's sold all the weapons they needed to so they can go home now
A lot of folks here talk with a condescending tone on Russia. You would probably talk down about the Chinese too, just because. I hope Russia ignores these bullies an continue to assert yourself and defend Mother Russia. China will back you up politically, economically, and militarily if you require it.
It was just a prank bro !
Atlantic Council = NATO mouthpiece "think tank" = zero credibility. No attention by Western media on massive Ukrainian army buildup threatening the civilians in Donbass.
Good, just pull other remaining 90 000 Russian troops from Ukrainian border.
US announces seizure and forfeiture of billions stolen from the Russian people by Vladimir Putin and his network of thieves.
Humiliated, angry! You guys so dump, makes me laugh. You guys speak Russian, understand Russian emotions and mentality? He was cool and calm.
"They are deployed in Crimea" yes since 1783
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL PUTTIN is a joke and now his country knows it!!!!!!!!!!!
nations grow in wealth and power through commerce and trade, Russia would do better to look more closely at how China develops and prospers. There is nothing worthwhile or long lasting achieved by guns just ask America. Its money pit.

We all know what Germany did after The Treaty of Versailles, the history is repeating itself, sanctions can't stop the Russians and it will lead them at the end to blowing up causing WW3
I think ukraine should not join NATO if they join NATO Russia will attack they have to join in 2050 so that there army will also strong and russia has to think to invade ukraine
LoL they be back tomorrow 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I think thats just rotation there still 10k on 175k is nothing
10k troops leave but over 100k still remain.
So where are the SATELLITE pics of all those Russian troops? In this modern age corporations have private IR satellites that can can super hi-def imaging of an given location on earth, so what's up you sick ass liars?
Honestly I wish they think of themselves as Eurasian instead of Western Europe vs Eastern Europe mentality! I mean these are both Christian nations fighting over a small piece of land when all the long term advantages belong to Russia if they would focus on developing their territory instead of trying to ruin peoples that live in the west because their jealous? Who bought the gas from you russia? That’s a favor to you they could have gotten it elsewhere then you go and try to destabilize the region almost as soon as the pipelines are built!!
Western media, stop lie!!! Free Julian Assange!!!
Any time i need a reminder that we are going down i just read the comments sections of western news. My god you folks are hopeless lol
Tactical retreat perhaps. Wonder if the Ukrainian side has reciprocated similarly to reduce the tensions?
If Russia invad ukrain, who can stop russian military . After all Russia is a largest nuclear weapon country in the world.
The western media state Sponsored Propaganda
Prophet Biden was wrong 🤣🤣
But, wait a moment, the other day Russia added 30,000 additional troops… and now they are pulling out 10,000 ? Perhaps they are withdrawing some young recruits, and replacing them with more highly trained soldiers better prepared for real action ? That too is a possibility.
