Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, who had not previously been noticed in a special peacefulness, suddenly announced that Kiev today does not see the threat of aggression from Russia, and also does not see a great danger and a large accumulation of Russian troops near its borders.
In addition, there were reports on the Web that the 1st Separate Tank Brigade of the Sever Command of the Land Forces of Ukraine was withdrawn from the conflict zone in the Donbass. The personnel of the brigade returned to the point of permanent deployment in the Chernihiv region. Since 2014, the losses of the brigade in the Donbas amounted to 42 servicemen.
In addition, on December 28, the 93rd separate motorized rifle brigade and the 128th separate mountain assault brigade of ground forces arrived at the point of permanent deployment from the zone of the joint forces operation in the Donbas.
Kiev received the command “Place!” – 247 News Bulletin
