Russia-Ukraine conflict: After weeks of tension, Russia today announced that it is withdrawing some of its troops stationed on the Ukraine border. This is believed to be the first sign of a reduction in the confrontation of Western countries.
It can be called the worst crisis between Western countries and Russia after the Cold War. As tensions eased, the US last week warned of a major attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. Russia launched a major naval operation on the Black Sea after several years of warnings.
A spokesman for Russia’s defense ministry told AFP this morning that some troops stationed on the Ukrainian border had completed the exercise and were returning.
To understand the Russia-Ukraine crisis, we are telling about 5 important points related to it:
1. In November last year, satellite images revealed 100,000 Russian troops and heavy military equipment on the borders of West Ukraine. In December, Joe Biden warned Russia of economic sanctions in the event of an attack on Ukraine.

2. The Kremlin made many demands from the Western countries. Russia called on NATO to ensure that Ukraine would never be accepted as a member. Russia also demanded that NATO should stop all its military activities in Eastern Europe.
3. In January, Biden assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the US would give a “decisive response” if Russia attacked Ukraine. NATO had prepared its forces and increased the presence of its ships and fighter jets in Eastern Europe.

4. Several countries, including the US, Germany, Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Canada, Norway, Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Australia, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have closed their doors amid fears of a full-blown war. The citizens were asked to leave Ukraine. Many countries had warned that if tensions continued to rise, it might not be possible to withdraw the forces.
5. Diplomatic talks between US and Russian officials did not yield results, as Washington reiterated that they could not accede to the demands of the Kremlin. Vladimir Putin said his concerns had not yet been addressed, but he was open to talks. He denied plans to attack Ukraine after Biden warned of a possible attack in February.
