KORNIDZOR, Armenia — Many of the men waiting at the Armenian border have been there for days.

Russia says some troops are being withdrawn from the Ukraine border and sent back to their home bases in what could be the first sign of a climbdown by Putin – or another of the strongman’s deceptions ahead of an attack.
Moscow’s defence ministry said today that units of the Southern and Western military command – which covers occupied Crimea and the Ukraine border region – are being loaded on to rail and road transports and moved away having ‘completed
