Russian forces aren’t withdrawing from certain areas in Ukraine and are instead regrouping, said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on March 31.

Earlier this week, Russian Defense Ministry officials said its military forces would be scaled down around the capital Kyiv and Chernihiv to the north, which was met by skepticism by U.S. and Ukrainian officials. And last week, Moscow said it would focus its operation in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
