POSSIBLE WAR LOOMS: Russia has massed about 150,000 troops east, north and south of Ukraine. That sparked Western concerns it was planning an attack.
MOSCOW — Russia says it is returning more troops and weapons to bases, but NATO says it sees no sign of a drawdown as fears that Moscow could soon invade Ukraine persist.
Moscow denies it has any such plans, and this week it said it was pulling back some forces and weapons, though it gave few details. Russian leader Vladimir Putin also made comments Tuesday that he plans to keep communication channels open and is ready to discuss security measures with NATO and the U.S.
NATO said Wednesday it does not see any sign that Moscow is decreasing its troop levels in and around Ukraine. In comments from the White House on Wednesday, President Joe Biden urged Russia not to levy an attack against Ukraine.
