Moscow denies Ukraine claims of Russian military infiltration attempt

Russia has denied Kiev’s claims that Russian military attempted to infiltrate Ukrainian territory.

“We struggle to understand what the Ukrainian side means. There have been no attempts of infiltration by the Russian army,” said President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. 

On Friday evening Kiev authorities said they prevented an infiltration attempt by Russian military disguised as Red Cross peacekeepers. 


Deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s administration, Valery Chaly, told the First National Channel that a huge convoy accompanied by Russian troops and military equipment was moving towards the Ukrainian border - “supposedly in agreement with the Red Cross committee.” He claimed that it was "apparently done in order to provoke a full-scale conflict.”
 
Peskov also stressed that Moscow is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. “The [humanitarian] catastrophe is the number one topic for discussion.”
