Russia continues direct support for terrorist activities by supplying militants in Ukraine with equipment and personnel.
National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) information and analytical center spokesman Andriy Lysenko said this at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“Two columns of military equipment were sighted yesterday moving from Russia towards Luhansk through the Izvaryne checkpoint,” Lysenko said.
He said that the issue concerned about 40 trucks, most of them KamAZ trucks, accompanied by two armored vehicles and a UAZ. “Seven vehicles were carrying soldiers, and over 20 vehicles were transporting artillery units on trailers,” he said.
In addition, 10-12 military trucks moved through the Dovzhansky checkpoints towards Antratsyt in Luhansk region. “We emphasize that at these checkpoints Russia blocked the work of the OSCE observer mission,” Lysenko said.
