Photo-fact: “Green men” in Minsk

A group of soldiers of the Russian army was noticed at the central railway station in Minsk.

Solders didn't answer where they were from and where they were going. They also didn't want to be photographed, Belsat TV reports.

They had two big army boxes with stickers of Pulkovo Airport (St Petersburg). They also have stickers “I'm just a polite man” in the colours of the Russian flag on their belonging. They had insignia of the Russian army on the uniform.

Russian soldiers from Bryansk without insignia were noticed in Homel some days ago. Charter97.org learnt it from Young Front activist Andrei Tsianiuta.

“Yesterday I saw soldiers while I was walking around the station. I drew attention to the fact that they were wearing the uniform unlike our soldiers usually did. They were wearing green winter caps without insignia or chevrons. I walked up to them to ask who they were and whether it was Belarusian uniform. I got the answer: 'We are Russians'. They said they were from Bryansk. Then I asked about possible military exercises to take place but they replied: 'No, there will be a war, so we have rotation and trainings',” he said.
