Kiev says Russia’s withdrawal is a diversion, the US denies training Ukraine

“We are seeing Russian troops withdraw from the area north of the capital Kiev, the areas around the two cities of Chernihiv to the north and Sumy to the northeast. But the withdrawal is only a tactic of the Russians. We understand their intentions.

“We know that they are moving away from areas of resistance, to focus on other important areas. There we will face many difficulties,” Zelensky added.

According to the Ukrainian president, although all Ukrainians want to win, “there will be many battles ahead, and Ukraine still has to go through that difficult road”.

US general denies training Ukrainian soldiers

“The US military stationed in Poland is not currently training any Ukrainian soldiers or combat units. A lot of aid has been provided to the Ukrainian side, but those are just shipments, they come and go. We are not currently training Ukrainian soldiers,” US Army Chief of Staff General James McConville told Task and Purpose news site on March 31 (US time).

General McConville’s comments came in the context of US President Joe Biden in a speech on March 28, referring to the fact that US troops stationed in Poland “are helping Ukrainian soldiers in training. “.
