It is eight months since the start of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and the fighting has claimed more than 4,000 lives.
Russia has consistently denied its forces are involved, but the BBC has gained access to training camps inside Russia where fighters talk openly about taking on the Ukrainian army.

(3,714 posts)How many times is that now? I've lost count.
ON EDIT: This is news? It's been known since the summer that individual Russians have been fighting on the separatists side. Along with individual volunteers from about 15 other countries. And it's not just the separatists side either. The Ukrainian side also has individual volunteer fighters from at least as many countries as the separatists.

(24,692 posts)can never be PROVEN. If your world view would be shattered by acknowledging climate change or the presence of Russian fighters in Ukraine, then you cannot allow that to be proven to you.
