Russian military intervention in Ukraine
In late
February 2014,
Russia began to send troops and military equipment into Ukraine (beginning with the appearance of "little green men") in what has been termed a stealth invasion, following the February 2014
Ukrainian revolution and
Euromaidan movement, including the contentious ousting of
President Viktor Yanukovych. Starting with the
2014 Crimean crisis, soldiers of ambiguous affiliation began to take control of strategic positions and infrastructure within the
Ukrainian territory of
Crimea, which Russia then annexed.
Russian journalists often used the phrase "polite men". Describing them as Russian troops in the
Russian media was not done, and dangerous. London-based military experts and the
US State Department said the soldiers were likely
Russian special forces (possibly including Spetsnaz commandos) and airborne units. Putin initially dismissed awkward questions about the presence of Russian troops but then admitted in April that Russian troops had been active in Crimea and said this had laid the ground for the
Crimean status referendum.
After the annexation of Crimea, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups, which were taking place in the Donbass area of Ukraine since early March, escalated by mid-April into an armed conflict between the separatist forces of the self-declared
Donetsk and
Lugansk People's Republics (
DPR and
LPR respectively) and
the Ukrainian government. As this armed insurgency spread across the Donbass,
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over the conflict zone on 17 July near
Torez in
Donetsk Oblast.
Evidence from open sources indicated that separatists in Ukraine were in control of a Russian-supplied
Buk missile launcher on 17 July and transported it from Donetsk to
Snizhne. In August,
Russian military vehicles have openly crossed the border in several locations of Donetsk Oblast (including
Mariupol), massing over 40,000 army units near the
Ukrainian border.
Russia denied allegations of its involvement in eastern Ukraine whilst Russian soldiers captured in Ukraine, comments made by rebel leaders such as Zakharchenko, and statements such as that of the head of the Russian
Union of Committees of
Soldiers'
Mothers,
Valentina Melnikova indicated that
Russian service personnel were fighting in Ukraine. In August Russia sent dozens of white lorries, green army trucks painted white, into eastern Ukraine, without inspection by Ukraine. The trucks were “almost empty” the
BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reported, and the action has been characterized as one of diversion, a distraction, so that at other points equipment and personnel came into Ukraine.
