In eastern Ukraine next to the separatists and Russian soldiers active? The US government submits photos to prove it. But with such evidence caution in Ukraine crisis.

The US government is upset over the Kremlin. She accuses Moscow of stoking unrest in eastern Ukraine, despite the Geneva Convention. Now she also has photos presented that would indicate that the separatists are to be in truth Russian soldiers or officers of the Russian secret service in many cities of the region.

The images had been handed over by the government in Kiev, said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki . However, several published in the international media or in short message service Twitter photos were ” further evidence of the link between Russia and the armed militias in eastern Ukraine ” .
But how big is the evidentiary value of the images presented ? Moscow rejects the charges from Washington back strictly .

Among other things, the ” New York Times ” published the recordings and rely on information from Ukrainian government. An image thus shows an alleged soldier for use in Georgia in 2008, he is wearing a badge of the Russian Special Forces. The apparently same man is seen on a recently launched photo of the storming of the police station in the

Ukrainian Kramatorsk by pro-Russian forces. Even on a photo from Slavjansk the man seems to be on display . Distinctive mark on all pictures : a long beard. But would Russian elite soldiers actually wear such a rather zauseligen beard?

The crisis in eastern Ukraine has long become a propaganda war , with exaggerations and half-truths . For evidence to be launched by the government in Kiev, so caution is recommended . Again and again she tried with movies and photos to prove that they are Russians.

While on videos and pictures from the eastern Ukrainian Slavjansk occur on the one hand uniform uniformed men in Camouflage coordinated on that it seems unlikely that they are a spontaneously formed group pro-Russian insurgents. Whether the recordings are genuine, but is anyone’s guess .

On the other hand, stormed last week , armed men in the city of Donetsk Horlivka at a police station . One of the intruders identified himself as an officer of the Russian army , which was one of the Western media reinforce it launched video. Later it was said that the man was the former head of the cemetery of Horlivka , and also member of the East Ukrainian Mafia – at least not a Russian officer .
