Proof of Russian generals in Donbas

KYIV – The United States has evidence that the Russian generals are directing the fighting in the east of Ukraine, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt said on Ukrainian Inter TV channel on March 1, according to Radio Liberty. “We believe that Russian generals are involved in the conflict in the Donbas, and that the Russian officers command tactical military operations in the Donbas. We know that Russia is using modern electronic missile guidance systems of the air-to-surface class,” he said. “We know that the regular troops of the Russian army took part in the occupation of Debaltseve, and in military actions that continued even after the Minsk agreements had to come into force. Russia has delivered hundreds and hundreds of pieces of heavy weapons since December, since the ceasefire, in particular those used in the attack on Debaltseve,” the ambassador said. He added, “This conflict may be ended by one phone call – a call by Russian President Vladimir Putin.” (UNIAN)
