Ukrainian officials refuted this assertion, stating that their military operations were still ongoing in the area. This development is significant as the expulsion of Ukrainian troops could simplify ongoing peace negotiations reportedly involving discussions between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and President Putin.
