Appears that the Russian announcement to pull back troops to their home bases was actually a "smokescreen".
Here is the more honest reason.
Putin orders 17,600 troops "on training" in Rostov region nr Ukraine border to pullback, return to base. Why? October conscription rotation!
What is more interesting are the "contract Russian troops" since their "contracts expire mid November " and winter is coming.
There are some that are saying Putin is lulling the western media and leadership as the units are being swapped out have been scheduled for "winter training"--wonder where?
October is conscription cohort demob and replenish time. Expect 17.000 fresh troops back in Rostov for winter training
