Russian forces have moved farther south from the strategically important city of Izium, which is still in their hands," the statement said.
There are no more Russian troops in northern Ukraine. They have moved to Belarus and Russia.
On Friday, the British Ministry of Defense said that this was true.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Defense, the troops are likely to be moved to fight in the eastern part of Donbas.
However, the British say that many units need to be bolstered first, and "any mass redeployment from the north is likely to take at least a week at the very least."
In a statement, the Russian military said that it had kept shelling cities in the east and south of Ukraine, as well as in other places.
