Ukraine: Kiev accuses Moscow of having 7.500 troops deployed in Ukraine
Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak has claimed 7500 members of the Russian armed forces are present in his country, “preventing” Kiev from stabilizing the situation in the Donbass.
On Saturday Poltorak issued a statement reading that “unfortunately the stabilization of the situation in the east of Ukraine does not depend only on us.”
The crisis-torn country is to boost its military’s capabilities with “arms and equipment”, UNIAN news agency quoted Poltorak as saying.
