OSCE Contradicts NATO Propaganda About ’Russian Invasion’

Printable version / Version imprimable

(EIRNS)—Not reported as prominently by international media as it should deserve, officials of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) repudiated the NATO propaganda about an alleged "Russian invasion of southeastern Ukraine," saying that so far, no evidence of that has been made available, apart from "some photographs that someone says he has seen."

Thomas Greminger, standing representative of Switzerland at the OSCE, said there is no evidence provided by either the OSCE observer team onside, nor by any official agency or government, of the involvement of "regular Russian troops," only evidence of more Russian volunteers fighting on the side of the rebels. Greminger said that at the OSCE, there are different views on the matter, apparently referring in particular to the Ukrainian representative at the organization.

The Russian representative to the OSCE Andrey Kelin, meanwhile, has given a firm response to the allegations, saying that "We have said that no Russian involvement has been spotted, there are no soldiers or equipment present.... Accusations relating to convoys of armoured personnel carriers have been heard during the past week and the week before that.... All of them were proven false back then, and are being proven false again now."
