Russia says it is pulling back troops from Ukraine border - BBC News

Russia says it is pulling back some of its troops from near Ukraine after a build-up raised fears of an invasion.

There has been no independent confirmation of the withdrawal and international powers have reacted cautiously to the announcement.

More than 100,000 Russian troops have massed at Ukraine's border. Russia has always denied it is planning an attack.

The announcement comes as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in Moscow to talk with President Putin.
