Since the beginning of the crisis in eastern Ukraine, the issue linked to Russian presence on Ukrainian soil has always been alive; and NATO, United States and Russia have been playing a game based on accusations and counteraccusations. This latest episode brings a new piece to an old puzzle. In August 2014 Russian military convoys crossed the border and entered in Ukraine; moreover, the presence of unmarked weaponries and military personnel with no insignia, and the mystery linked to Boris Nemtsov’s dossier created new suspicions. Although the two captured men’s statements shouldn’t be considered as some sort of confession, there are little doubts regarding some kind of Russian involvement in this crisis.
In the meantime, Russia defends herself by saying that the two men were former and not serving soldiers and accused Kiev of beating a convenient testimony out of them.
