NATO has witnessed columns of
Russian military equipment and Russian combat troops cross the
Ukrainian border, the commander of the organisation's forces in
Europe, Philip Breedlove, said Wednesday.
"In the last two days we observed the same movements
reported by OCSE. Russian tanks, Russian artillery, Russian air
defence systems and Russian combat troops entering Ukraine"
Breedlove stated.
Russia denied the reports. General Igor Konashenkov,
spokesperson for Russian ministry of defence said NATO
accusations were "unfounded".
