Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation officially announced that the units of the Southern and Western military districts, having completed their tasks, have already begun loading of tanks and armored tracked vehicles onto railway platforms and began to march in a combined way to the points of permanent deployment at a distance of about 1,000 km after the planned exercises.

At the same time, the Russian military also released a video showing the loading of tracked armored vehicles onto railway platforms at loading stations and a train set carrying military equipment across the Crimean bridge.

NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said there is cause for “cautious optimism” when it comes to quelling the crisis on the Ukrainian border. Speaking at a press conference, Mr. Stoltenberg said there have so far been no signs of military de-escalation from Russia. However, he said there appears to be a “willingness” from Moscow to “continue to engage in diplomatic efforts” but, we have not seen any withdrawal of Russian forces.
