Ukraine initiated the creation of an international working group to develop a mechanism for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory, stated the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov.
"I proposed to create an international working group at the level of defense ministers and national security advisers to jointly develop a mechanism for the withdrawal of troops," the minister said.
