Fomin said Russian forces will also be reduced in Chernihiv region.
Moscow had decided to fund “cut back military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv to increase mutual trust and create conditions for further negotiations”, he said.
The announcement came as the Ukrainian military leadership had said it had began to notice Russian troop withdrawals from Kyiv and Chernihiv.
Previous announcements of Russian troop withdrawals have been greeted with scepticism.
