President Vladimir Putin's claim that he is ready to talk and is pulling back troops from Ukraine are false, according to a senior Biden administration official, who said on Wednesday that 7000 Russian troops had arrived at the border in recent days.
Instead, Moscow is talking peace while secretly preparing for war.
'Yesterday, the Russian government said it was withdrawing troops from the border with Ukraine,' said the official on a call with reporters.
'They received a lot of attention for that claim, both here and around the world.
'But we now know it was false. In fact, we have now confirmed that in the last several days, Russia has increased its troop presence along Ukrainian border by as many as 7000 troops, with some arriving as recently as today.'

HAPPY UKRAINE DAY!
Anything to distract from their own fetid mess coming to a boil among the citizenry.
Putin PUNKED Brandon.... BIG TIME!! 😂
In honor of the late PJ O’Rourke …Give War a Chance.
Perpetual crisis.
Yeah I heard the Russians scored bigtime playing the stock market over this.
“So they’re saying there’s still a chance.”
No, they’re saying that Putin and Russia are liars, cheats, and thieves.
Which they are.
Would it be stupid of me to think we should just let them have Ukraine? I mean instead of getting into a war with Russia.
Exactly how I felt when I read the headline.
Sobering thought. If Putin is playing 3D chess against the American President, the name of our player is Joe Biden. Uh, oh.
Wag wag wag the dog
Gently down the stream
Lied about Trump, pandemic, vaccines, boosters, medicines,
those who saw through the lies...
Oh I’m sure they’re telling the truth now. /s
I was under the impression that Putin could put troops anywhere he wants in his own country. I didn’t get the memo that DC had the authority to tell other leaders how to run things. 🤣
Lloyd Christmas is far more likeable and intelligent than Biden.
It’s exactly what I thought you meant by post#1.
Movie lines/paraphrasing is a hobby of mine.
I can’t see where the offal er, uh official was ever named in the article.
