NATO Chief Rasmussen: No Sign That Russian Troops Are Withdrawing From The Ukraine Border

Ukraine Crisis: NATO Chief Rasmussen Says No Russian Troop Withdrawal Seen -- CNN

(CNN) -- NATO sees no sign that Russia is pulling its forces back from the border with Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Tuesday, despite Moscow's claim of a partial pullback.

The alliance's foreign ministers also decided to suspend all civilian and military cooperation between NATO and Russia, according to a joint statement.

"Unfortunately I cannot confirm that Russia is withdrawing its troops," Rasmussen said at the opening of a two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, Belgium.

"This is not what we're seeing. And this massive military buildup can in no way contribute to a de-escalation of the situation."
