War and peace hang on a thread in Russian-Ukrainian border.
The partial withdrawal of Russian troops is a first step for de-escalation or bluff of Putin; His thoughts and movements Russian president are trying to decipher analysts, who see Moscow constantly playing with the nerves of the West, with the crisis in Ukraine remaining on the razor’s edge.
“Some in West they think it all has to do with Russia. He is trying to push Ukraine back into the orbit of Moscow. Some believe that his goal

and to repel NATO “, noted the BBC correspondent in Moscow, Steve Rosenberg.

Russia uses its military mobilization as a lever of pressure.
“As the pressure rises and the threat of invasion rises and the drums of war certainly sound louder, he (hopes), Putin, that he will draw major concessions from the United States, or that he will get something that will be important enough for “He, in order to have an acceptable agreement and thus to de-escalate”, pointed out the strategic analyst, Jack Kinon Fox News.

What is certain is that the prospect of de-escalation hides a lot of background.
