REUTERS\/Alexander Ermochenko<\/div>\n<p>March 31, 2022<\/p>\n<p>BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Russian forces in Ukraine are not withdrawing but regrouping, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday, commenting on Moscow\u2019s announcements about a scaling down of military operations around Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>Stoltenberg also said the alliance has yet to be convinced that Russia was negotiating in good faith in peace talks in Istanbul because Moscow\u2019s military objective since launching its invasion of Ukraine has not changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our intelligence, Russian units are not withdrawing but repositioning. Russia is trying to regroup, resupply and reinforce its offensive in the Donbas region,\u201d Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow says it is now focusing on \u201cliberating\u201d the Donbas region \u2013 two southeastern provinces partly controlled by separatists Russia has backed since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, Russia maintains pressure on Kyiv and other cities. So we can expect additional offensive actions, bringing even more suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia says it launched a \u201cspecial military operation\u201d to disarm and \u201cdenazify\u201d its neighbour, and that the mission is going to plan.<\/p>\n<p>Stoltenberg said: \u201cWe have no real change in the real Russian objective \u2026 they continue to pursue a military outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said NATO allies would continue to provide weapons to Ukraine for as a long as necessary.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Robin Emmott and Sabine Siebold, Editing by Alexandra Hudson)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service members of pro-Russian troops are seen atop of an armoured vehicle in the course of Ukraine-Russia conflict in the besieged southern port city of Mariupol, Ukraine March 30, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":287,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1412774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1412774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/287"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1412774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1412774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1412774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1412774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1412774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
