In the face of countless videos/photos/journalist reports/voice intercepts/NATO statements and arrests by the SBU of countless Russian fighters it still seems Ruyssia cannot for some strange reason jump over the razor and openly admit that yes they have been supplying weapons/fighters/ammunition to the separatists.

JAL shot down arguments version 3.

Guess this is the Russian answer to Merkel demanding Putin Russia finally admit their support to the separatists.

Notice they still in their press releases push the civilian disaster crisis.

From RIA today:

MOSCOW, August 17 (RIA Novosti) -Russia is not sending any military equipment to Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"We have repeatedly said that no equipment is supplied there," Peskov said in an interview with the Govorit Moskva radio station.

Earlier, Donetsk Prime Minister Alexander Zakharchenko reported that militia had received some 150 combat vehicles, including 30 tanks, but did not specify where the equipment had come from.

Moscow has repeatedly rejected accusations of interfering in the situation in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that before accusing Russia, it is necessary to present real evidence of Moscow’s alleged interference in the Ukrainian crisis.

Numerous reports by Kiev have not received any confirmation so far.

Since mid-April, Kiev has been conducting a military operation against the southeastern regions of Ukraine that had refused to recognize the legitimacy of the new government after February coup.

Since the start of the operation, nearly 1,400 people have been killed and more than 4,000 wounded in the region, including about 2,600 civilians and 29 children, according to a report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). At least 117,000 people have been forcibly displaced.

NOTE: Russian sources ie Interfax/RIA/RT have claimed in fact over 500K refugees so it is interesting they now accept UN numbers.

Russia has repeatedly condemned Kiev’s actions and urged for peaceful dialogue with representatives of Ukraine’s southeastern regions.

At some point, why not just act decisively and invade? I think long term, that is a disaster for Russia. But this is also a disaster for Russia. The only difference is in one disaster is you get to have some part of eastern Ukraine.
