Kyiv has evidence of Russian troops, equipment crossing into Ukraine – Poroshenko
Ukraine has evidence of Russian troops and equipment crossing into its territory, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.
“We have irrefutable evidence – both satellite images and video footage made by our intelligence services – of Russian military hardware and Armed Forces units crossing the Ukrainian border,” he told a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday.
“And we demand that, once we have conveyed this position, there should be a decisive and fast reaction in the form of withdrawal of the invading troops and access by the OSCE [the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] for checks and for creation of all conditions, primarily, concerning the safety issue, and for launching of the political settlement process,” Poroshenko said.
