Breaking news but on twitter (Russia moving AWAY FROM BORDER)

[brettdale]

Videos, and media on twitter, SHOW the Russians are moving AWAY FROM THE BORDER AND ARE HEADED BACK TO BASE.

Seems to be legit.

1. I just looked and didn't see that at all n/t

3. Such a statement needs support.

Like, a link to Twitter posts.

But let's not jump to conclusions.

5. Until the White House says it's happening, it's not.

When was the last time that the Russians told the truth and why ? rhetorical question.

12. For heaven's sake, this was not reported by the Russians. People watching troop movements

reported this.

21. You must have many examples of official Russian lies

in this context. Have any links to the evidence?

[Sherman A1]

6. Hopefully good news

But we will see.

7. I have remained hopeful that Putin is testing our resolve and was looking for us to blink...give

concessions on Ukraine joining Nato for example...but perhaps Biden has made the cost too high for Russia. I think some underestimate Biden. Perhaps Putin did.

9. No doubt there is a testing by Putin going on here. President Biden has laid the cards on the

table, what will happen if Russia invades Ukraine, and to substantiate his resolve on this he has made intelligent reports on Russian troop movements public. That makes it very difficult for Russia to play a gulf of Tonkin ploy

[Demsrule86]

10. All good points. I am so sick of Putin...

[JohnSJ]

14. Same here

[Demsrule86]

25. He is pretty old...can't live forever!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Which makes me glad Joe's in charge

TFG would be kissy kissy with Putin.

[artemisia1]

20. I think you are entirely correct. /nt

[Demsrule86]

24. Thank you...I hope so!

[JohnSJ]

8. There are still over a 100000 Russian troops there. Putin, like trump should not be taken at his

word. Seeing is believing, and it still isn’t happening in any significant way

[Demsrule86]

11. I consider it very significant personally...on what do you base your opinion?

[JohnSJ]

15. He said similar things about crimea, before he annexed it. Putin cannot be trusted

at his word. when the troops are actually moved back, that is when I will believe it

[Demsrule86]

19. That was quite different. And Russia signed agreement with Ukraine afterword...so I say we don't

blink...but he has pulled back and I saw none of that with Crimea.

22. There's no comparison.

The people of Crimea voted massively to reintegrate with Russia. There was no Russian talk of invasion of nor withdrawal from Crimea.

[uponit7771]

26. Crimerian people voted after they were occupied or before?

Cause you know that's an important part of the story no?

[JohnSJ]

23. Some Ukraine agencies are being hit by possible cyberattack. I wonder where those are from

[mucifer]

13. msnbc just mentioned SOME troops are moving. MOST aren't. So lots of uncertainty

[Midnight Writer]

16. And the Western markets jump up. You'd almost think Putin and Co. are churning them.

[sarisataka]

17. Twitter nt

18. Unconfirmed by NATO

NATO and Western governments said they had seen no signs of de-escalation yet Tuesday, despite the Russian Defense Ministry’s announcement that it is pulling back forces from maneuvers that had heightened concerns about an invasion. Russia gave no details on where the troops were pulling back from, or how many.
