Nearly 80,000 Russian troops are reportedly still gathered along the Russian border with Ukraine this week, despite Russian claims they would withdraw by May 1. At the peak of Russia’s recent Ukrainian border deployment, Josep Borrell, the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said an estimated 100,000 Russian troops were mobilized along the border. Senior Defense Department officials told the New York Times on Wednesday that only a few thousand of those Russian troops actually left the Ukrainian border. Retired Maj. Gen. Michael S. Repass, who previously commanded U.S. Special Operations forces in Europe and now serves as NATO’s special operations adviser to Ukraine, said, “[Russia has] retained a rather lethal force in the region and have only pulled back some forces.”
