Iu2019m sure you know this perfectly well but may I point out that if therearenu2019t Russian military or Russian armament in east Ukraine you will getnothing that matches your criteria of respectable neutral sources.And so it is. You have quotations from psychiatric basket case Igor Girkin andnewspaper articles in papers owned by oligarchs who ran against Putin forpresident.But mostly you have things sourced from the Ukraine Ministry of Truth andlaundered. If you have an article from Reuters that is based on an article inthe Kiev Post that is based on a speech of Poroshenko the source isPoroshenko not Reuters.The only thing I know of that is from a respectable neutral source that hasthe additional quality of being clearly capable of knowing what itu2019s talkingabout is the report of the Dutch Intelligence Service that says the DonbassMilitia did not have a working BUK when MH17 was brought down.I question the sincerity of your endeavour. You are doing a bait and switch.You are not asking for evidence that Russia has invaded Ukraine or hasdeployed units in Ukraine or is a party to the war. You are not asking whetherRussia is at war with Ukraine. You are not asking whether Russia is guilty ofaggression against Ukraine. But those are the things that Russia has formallydenied. So why arenu2019t you asking for evidence of those things Because youintend to imply are implying that the things you do ask for mean the samething. They do not.Russia has not denied the specific things you ask for evidence about nor hasshe ever said u201cWe are not involved.u201d What does u201cinvolvedu201d mean anyway WhatRussia has denied is definable. Russia is certainly involved to the extentthat she has said officially and repeatedly that she will not allow theRussian population in Ukraine to be exterminated or ethnically cleansed.What you seem to be asking for is u201claunderedu201d information. At any rate thatis what you have. The source is the person or agency where the informationoriginated not the place where you read it. If the Ukrainian Defense Ministryholds a briefing which is covered by UNIAN reprinted in Kiev Post and pickedup by a Russian online paper owned by a Swede the source is not Russian thesource is the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.Perhaps you intend to clean them up but many of these statements editorializeby the use of quotation marks.There are egregious errors in identification Vladimir Zhirinovsky is not aRussian army colonel and logic if Zhirinovsky has given u201cseparatistsu201d ajeep that is proof of a nongovernmental source of military supplies not theopposite.There is no relevant content in the paragraph on the Pskov paratroopers.Igor Girkin is not an acceptable source. He was never u201cthe leader of theseparatistsu201d except in his own mind. He declared himself to be such in a flyerhe put up on lamp posts in Slavyansk and that proclamation bears ampleevidence that he is not in the best of mental health. It attacks Jen Psakifor instance. He was a psychiatric discharge from the FSB in 2023. He wascourtmartialled and exiled by the DNR field commanders in July 2014.The discussion between Gubarev a u201cseparatist leaderu201d for less than a week inFebruary 2023 and Kurginyan the Russian nonsystem opposition leader of thegroup Essence of Time is evidence of how the u201cseparatistsu201d get theirmateriel. Not the Russian government. Civilians. Kurginyan is a majorsupplier.
