Nemtsov Report Claims to Prove Russian Military Involvement in Ukraine Conflict

Allies of slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov released a report on Tuesday, May 12, claiming to prove Russian military involvement in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The report, entitled Putin.War, comprises research carried out by Nemtsov shortly before he was shot dead just several meters from the Kremlin, the official residence of President Vladimir Putin, on February 27.

Speaking at the press conference in Moscow, Russian activist and co-writer of the report, Ilya Yashin, said, “All key military successes of the separatists were ensured by regular Russian army contingents.”

“It is a document for Russian citizens to be able to compare information and understand what is happening,” he said. “Propaganda… is not letting citizens make their own conclusions.” Credit: YouTube/Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
