The US and Nato have said there is no evidence Russia has moved its forces back from the Ukrainian border despite the president saying his forces are "not on the Ukrainian border".
@NATOpress: #NATO SG @AndersFoghR in #Poland: "we haven't seen any signs that #Russia is withdrawing its troops."
earlier today, before the high-beta, higher-trash selloff resumed, the main catalyst that pushed the market higher was the following headline:
PUTIN: RUSSIA PULLED BACK TROOPS FROM UKRAINIAN BORDER
Turns out all Putin was doing was merely trying to give his buddies yet another higher price level from which to sell. To wit:
NATO HAS NO INDICATION OF WITHDRAWAL OF RUSSIAN MILITARY FORCES FROM UKRAINE BORDER-NATO MILITARY OFFICIAL
UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIAN MILITARY DRILLS CONTINUING ON BORDER
UKRAINE BORDER SVC CAN'T SAY WHETHER RUSSIA ARMY IS WITHDRAWING
It is almost as if Putin was merely pulling the electronic legs of the high freaks with premeditated intent...
Putin said Russian troops had pulled back to training grounds and locations for "regular exercises," but didn't specify whether those locations were in areas near Ukraine.
Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren, however, told Fox News the U.S. had "seen no change in Russian force posture along the Ukrainian border.”
Putin made the remarks in a Moscow meeting with Swiss President Didier Burkhalter.
"We're always being told that our forces on the Ukrainian border are a concern. We have withdrawn them. Today they are not on the Ukrainian border, they are in places where they conduct their regular tasks on training grounds," Putin said, according to Reuters.

I know, huh?
What "troops", how far?
It won't change the fact American troops are building in Poland on the western border of Ukraine. I'm guessing they aren't there for the sausage.
Yah, its not Mainstream-ing source. Wonderful thing, the Internet.

600 troops is a build up LMAO
