Russia says reinforced troops on Ukraine border as precaution

The extra Russian military forces near the border with Ukraine have been deployed there in response to instability in Ukraine, a Kremlin spokesman said, in a departure from the previous explanation that they were on routine exercises. 

"We ... have forces in the region of the Ukrainian border. Some of these forces are based there permanently, others are there to reinforce, against the backdrop of what is happening in Ukraine itself," Dmitry Peskov, spokesman to Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the Rossiya 1 television station.


"Forgive me but, it (Ukraine) is a country where there has just been a military coup, so naturally any country is going to take particular precautionary measures in terms of ensuring its security."


He said as a sovereign state, Russia was free to deploy troops anywhere on its territory without restrictions. 

He denied allegations that the Russian military was interfering in events inside Ukraine territory. 

Those assertion were, said Peskov "completely wrong."

"Tenemos fuerzas en la región que limita con Ucrania, algunas están emplazadas allí de manera permanente, y otras han llegado de refuerzo como reacción a lo que está ocurriendo dentro de la propia Ucrania", dijo Dimitri Peskov, el portavoz del Kremlin.

    La OTAN ha denunciado que la Federación Rusa mantiene en la actualidad un contingente de 40.000 soldados desplegados en la frontera con Ucrania. Y no están de maniobras, sino preparados para entrar en combate. El secretario general de la alianza, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, dijo el pasado día 10 de abril que si Rusia se tomaba en serio las negociaciones, debía retirar las tropas, pero Rusia negó que hubiese aumentado su presencia militar en la zona...............http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2014/04/19/53526609268e3ee2268b456e.html
