The Pentagon said on Monday it has not seen any indication of Russian troop movements away from Ukraine’s borders despite a Kremlin announcement that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered them to return to their permanent bases.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We have seen reports of President Putin’s orders to withdraw Russian forces from the border with Ukraine. We’ve been clear about our call for the Russian military to work to de-escalate the tension there,” Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told Reuters.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“If those reports are valid, and if those orders are followed, such a withdrawal would be welcome. We have seen no indication of any movement.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Putin’s office said he had issued the order because the spring maneuvers were over.<\/span><\/p>\n
