The statement came from NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the Brussels briefing, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.
"Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that Russia is withdrawing its troops," Mr Rasmussen told reporters. "This is not what we are seeing."
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told German Chancellor Angela Merkel he had ordered a partial withdrawal of Russian troops near the eastern border of Ukraine, according to the German government.
