Several Russian media featured stories this week claiming that Ukrainian armed forces wearing Russian military uniforms were spotted on the contact line between Ukraine and the occupied eastern Donbas territories. The source for these claims is a representative of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR). This representative, Andrey Marochko in turn cites local residents who allegedly told him that on June 9-10 a group of servicemen from Ukraine’s Special Forces units wearing Russian uniforms arrived in Shchastia, a small front line town some 24 kilometers north of Luhansk.
