Update in regards to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022)

Will we add a segment disproving/approving sightings of Russian Forces without Insignia in Eastern Ukrainian?

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported talking to Russian Airborne Devisions inside the DPR in 2015 Source: https://www.osce.org/ukraine-smm/175736

To me this is a credible source... 95.98.155.60 (talk) 14:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are more specific than article

The article says, "After two months of denial, on 17 April 2014, Russian president Vladimir Putin confirmed that the Russian military had been operating in Ukraine." In the context of the article, it sounds like Putin was finally admitting that Russian forces were in eastern regions of Ukraine. But the sources make it sound like he was only admitting to the forces that conducted the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

The first source, Radio Liberty says: "Putin admitted that behind the backs of the Crimean self-defense forces “correctly, but decisively and professionally” acted the Russian military to allow the free referendum on the peninsula and prevent the use of weapons against the civilian population."

The second source, The Washington Post agrees: "Their presence had been necessary, he said, to keep order so that Crimeans could decide their future in a referendum." Both of these sources imply that Putin was specifically talking about the presence of Russian forces after the well known invasion of Crimea. The article should reflect the specificity of Putin's admission. He's specifically admitting to the annexation of Crimea, which is well known. The current wording is misleading, implying he's admitting more than he actually is.
