Volodymyr Zelensky, confronted for weeks with the threat of a potential attack from Moscow, said on Wednesday that Kiev was "not afraid of any prognosis".

The trend of the day
Word, word, word…
Russia confirmed on Wednesday the gradual departure of more than 100,000 soldiers massed on the borders of Ukraine, some of whom are stationed in Belarus.
By February 20, “not a single soldier, not a single piece of equipment” will remain in the country, assured Minsk, an ally of Moscow.

“We have not seen any de-escalation on the ground at this stage.
On the contrary, it appears that Russia is continuing to strengthen its military presence,” reacted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
The head of American diplomacy Anthony Blinken also hammered that there was no "significant withdrawal".
A vision shared by Ukraine, which has seen no "changes", and by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who declared on Wednesday: "There are still as many forces and the maneuvers are continuing.
