According to a report on August 13 by Reference News citing the website of the Wall Street Journal, U.S. officials said:Russia is withdrawing some of its troops from Ukraine in response to a Ukrainian offensive on Russian territory.It was the first sign that Kiev's cross-border attacks had forced Moscow to redeploy its offensive Ukrainian forces.

U.S. officials said the United States is still trying to determine the significance of Russia's partial troop withdrawal, and they did not disclose U.S. estimates of how many troops Russia has mobilized. But the new U.S. assessment supports the claims of Ukrainian officials who say Ukraine's sudden move into Russia's Kursk last week caused Russian troops to withdraw from Ukraine after Moscow's advantages in manpower and equipment allowed Russian troops to advance in many parts of Ukraine.
