Ukraine's Defense Ministry reports on its website that terrorists in eastern Ukraine use machinery and equipment brought from Russia.
“During last several days as the operation aimed to provide an effective protection of state border was taking place, armed forces have terminated the activity of terrorist groups and military mercenaries in a whole number of cities in Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts,” reads the statement.
Moreover, Defense Ministry accuses pro-Russian terrorists of violating the international law and Geneva Conventions. “As a result, local civil population has to leave their houses and move to different regions of Ukraine, escaping from terrorists,” says the press release.
Material evidence found near Dobropillya in Donetsk Oblast allows to conclude that terrorist groups in eastern Ukraine consist of well prepared and equipped soldiers from Russia, including those from special military forces. “This could be proved by the stamp “For packages” that was found. It indicates the connection to one of the units of Russian armed forces,” mentions the Ministry’s statement.
