The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, has commented on the information about the presence of Russian troops in the Donbass.
"Of course I cannot confirm this, because I’m not the one who should be asked this question. We, along with the Defense Ministry, have repeatedly said that there are no Russian soldiers in Donbass. I cannot comment on these reports, but I think that the specialists of our Defense Ministry in this case would do better to establish how reliable this information is," Gazeta.ru cited Peskov as saying.
