Russians do not download from the border of Ukraine, show satellite images<

Russia, according to NATO estimates at the beginning of April, deployed about 40,000 soldiers at the western border with Ukraine.New satellite images published by the US suggests that Russian units in the area remain.

This is despite the assurance of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced on Wednesday that the troops withdrew from the border.But the West did not convince.Martin Downie, a spokesman for NATO operations, told Reuters that Russian statements do not match the facts.

"The reality is that Russia has 40,000 units in high levels and another 25,000 in the Crimea.The latest satellite images show mechanized infantry, armored personnel carriers and combat helicopters, "he said.

One of the satellite photographs published by the US Foreign Ministry on Twitter shows a group of armor in the Rostov region.The photo comes from Monday 12.May, transporters in the same place captured the picture of 23.March.

The situation repeats the situation with helicopters.All machines again stand in the original place.

When NATO provided similar images of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border in April, Moscow challenged them.According to her, they were taken a year earlier.

Lavrov: Ukraine is on the threshold of the Civil War

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claims that Ukraine found itself on the threshold of the Civil War."When Ukrainians kill Ukrainians, I think Ukraine has come to the civil war as never before," Lavrov said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.He added that in the east and south there is a "war, real war".

Asked if Russia may guarantee that he will not want to seize the east of Ukraine, he replied: "We must start not with a hypothetical question who can add to whom but how people will feel in this country."

The Minister also repeated earlier threats of Moscow Kiev that the connection to the European Union would have serious economic consequences for Ukraine."The decision is entitled to the Ukrainians.However, if they decide to join the EU, they must realize what the consequences will be in connection with their obligations arising from economic agreements within the SNS (Community of Independent States)."

Lavrov also made it clear that Moscow would like to clarify the information that the Ukrainian army used on Wednesday in a military operation against the rebels of the UN Helicopter, which Ukraine had previously provided for peace forces in Congo mission.

Russian agencies report that Ukrainian government forces deployed these helicopters on Wednesday evening at Kramatorsk.The UN is said to have expressed concern in connection with this report, and the Ukrainian authorities are already negotiating.

Ukrainian elections are not legitimate, Russia says

The situation in the east of Ukraine, where the contributors to the separatists strive for the detachment of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions from Kiev and the connection to Russia, remains tense.The chairman of the Russian State Duma Sergei Naškin said on Wednesday that the new Ukrainian president that will come from the early elections 25.May, will not be fully legitimate.

"The elections can hardly be legitimate under the conditions of essentially criminal operations conducted against two areas of the country where around seven million inhabitants live," Našyškin said Rossija 24.Thus pointed to the operation of Ukrainian troops, which with poor success seeks to pacify the insurgents.

According to him, the Ukrainian government and the upcoming elections lack the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government."But it is obvious that the election failure to do is even a sadder situation, and therefore it is necessary to choose the smaller of the two," Našyškin said.

The chairman of Duma also called on Kyiv to respect the results of Sunday referendums organized by the Prior Separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the southeast of Ukraine.The Provisional Government called on to start with the results "with the people" dialogue.

Referendum, according to the organizers' claim, ended in significant support of the independence of both regions.Radicals declared the independence of their "People's Republic" on Monday and even called on Moscow in Donetsk to consider their admission to the Russian Federation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has already questioned the planned early presidential elections in April because the deposed Viktor Yanukovych is formally still the head of state.The leaders of Donetsk and Luhansk's separatists also want to boycott them.Their action on the other side supports the West.
