Multiple reports contradict Moscow's claim of partial drawdown; Nato secretary general sees no sign of de-escalation on the ground'

• Russia still building forces on Ukraine border, says top Nato official
• Ukrainians mark day of unity against fears of a Russian invasion

Britain's defence secretary has said Russia should be judged by its actions when it comes to de-escalating tension at the Ukraine border, adding he has not seen evidence of a withdrawal of troops.

Speaking in Brussels ahead of a meeting of Nato defence ministers, Ben Wallace told Sky News on Wednesday morning:

We'll take Russia at its word, but we will judge them on their actions.

Until we see a proper de-escalation, we should all be cautious about the direction of travel from the Kremlin."
