Ten thousand Russian military servicemen are reportedly returning to their "permanent deployment points" from field training on the border with neighboring Ukraine, according to Interfax news, which quoted statements from the Russian military.
The reported redeployment comes after months of tension and reports that Russia was planning a multi-front offensive against Ukraine in early 2022. However, the troop redeployment appears to represent only a fraction of the 70,000 to 100,000 Russian troops believed to be stationed near the border.
One of the regions where troops were located is Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
NPR has not independently confirmed the report.
"In the troops of the Southern Military District, the stage of combat coordination of squads, crews and crews in motorized rifle formations, military units of combat arms and special forces has come to an end," the statement from the military said.
The statement also said the servicemen will continue to serve on a combat watch.

Puttie is not as secure at home as he makes out. Or as Fox says he is.

Nobody really knows how much money Putin has, I've heard he throws rich businessmen in prison and takes their stuff. Some say Putin is the richest man in the world, but Elon Musk is on fire. The owner of Amazon made as much money last year as Bill Gates is worth, and Elon Musk passed him to be, perhaps, the richest man in the world.
