Kremlin propaganda portrays Ukraine as ruled by armed bandits since the Feb. 22 overthrow of disgraced former President Viktor Yanukovych.

When Russian and Russian-backed armed forces invaded Crimea in late
February,  Russian President Vladimir Putin denied their presence.
Ukrainian authorities under Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk’s interim
government say they have also stopped thousands of suspected Russian
provocateurs, sent to stir up trouble, from entering the nation as
border crossings are subjected to greater vigilance.
