Russian Army and Special Forces of Russian Federation at War against Ukraine
Censor.NET received a report by Ukrainian special forces about dislocation of Russian troops in Ukraine. SBU revealed full structure of Russian groups in the Donbas, Crimea, and the Rostov region. Exact military units, which currently participate in the Russian invasion, are indicated. This information is confirmed by intelligence and analysts.
Russia keeps denying the fact of its army being on the territory of Ukraine. Such persistence should not surprise. Earlier, during the so-called 'referendum' in Crimea and subsequent occupation of the peninsula, Vladimir Putin had attempted many times to convince Ukrainians and the whole world that the Russian army did not take part in those events. Not so long ago he in fact admitted that the Russian army "blocked the Ukrainian army deployed in the Crimea."
These days, the evidence of Russian invasion to Ukraine is published daily. Censor.NET received data on quantity of Russian troops in the Rostov region and the occupied Crimea, on number of Russian military equipment in the Donbas, and on location of intelligence centers of GRU operating against Ukraine.
According to the report of the intelligence, at least 35 Russian air defense systems are located in the Donbas.
