For long time, the Kremlin’s propaganda has been aggressively broadcasting a well-known statement to the whole world that their units “are not there” in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, a civil war is going on in Ukraine, as well as the Ukrainian troops are opposed by “militia” troops consisting of miners and combiners.

The intelligence agency of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has been conducting purposeful work regarding the gathering evidences of Russian armed aggression against Ukraine, which are delivered to relevant international institutions for further investigation.

Significant efforts of the Ukraine’s military intelligence are focused on monitoring the security situation around Ukraine on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence in order to not give opportunity to Kremlin leaders to spoil the national holiday.

It is known that it is scheduled today the arrival of the commander of the 8th Army (Novocherkask) of the Southern MD of the Russian Armed Forces Lieutenant-General Sychevoi Andrii Ivanovych in the temporarily occupied territory in Donetsk and Luhansk regions with the aim of inspection of conducting the operational and combat training of formations and military units of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the occupants.
