(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The US welcomed on Wednesday Russian Federal Council's decision to repeal the resolution authorizing the use of military force in Ukraine, according the State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf.
"The repeal is a step in the right direction. We, though, are aware that a number of Russian combat units have deployed to locations close to the Ukrainian border," Harf told reporters.
"We have seen Russia take some steps, again, including by revoking the resolution but we really need Russia to do more," affirmed Harf.
In response to Russia's intent to deescalate Harf asserted, "Well, they've said it is, but their actions have not backed up those words."
