"The source also said that some 500 Ukrainian servicemen had crossed the border at various times, adding: "We did not give much publicity to that. We just returned all those willing to return to Ukrainian territory at safe places."
Ah, yes. The good old “they did it too, even though we have no evidence of it and nobody reported on it at the time — just trust us bro.” Pretty weird for a user on a conspiracy forum, to be taking state-actor reporting without any extrinsic evidence at face value.
In any event, the sources clearly show that Russian troops were operating in Donbass years prior to present, which OP’s article says is not the case.
. . . but it’s from a different person in the article. Your quote is from the Russian defense ministry, whereas the Russian troops were captured by the Ukrainian defense ministry.
Wrong and wrong. Even the OSCE — which the author himself cites for the above proposition — has found that Russian troops were operating within Donbass well before 2022.
Pretty ironic for Stone to criticize the campaign against disinformation, then publish an article with outright lies.
WAH!

Yup, it’s from the same article . . .

Nice reading comprehension there Einstein.
