Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, head of U.S. European Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has said that in eastern Ukraine, Russia has about 250-300 troops who are training and equipping the separatists.
Speaking at a press briefing on November 3, Breedlove noted that the Russian government continued to support militants in Donbas.
According to the general, the section of the Ukrainian-Russian border in the conflict zone is not controlled by Ukraine that allows Russian troops to cross it freely.
Breedlove also commented on separatist pseudo-elections, saying that they contradicted the Minsk agreements of September 5 and would not improve the situation in the region. According to Breedlove, despite a ceasefire that was agreed on September 5, the fighting continues.
