NATO Commander tells how Russian subversives betrayed themselves

Russian servicemen give themselves away by their professional military bearing, weapons, well-trained maneuvers and gun handling skills.

Philip Breedlove, the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, a US General, states that professional units of the Russian army are used in eastern Ukraine. He has stated that in his blog, Liga.net informs.

“It’s hard to fathom that groups of armed men in masks suddenly sprang forward from the population in eastern Ukraine and systematically began to occupy government facilities. It’s hard to fathom because it’s simply not true. What is happening in eastern Ukraine is a military operation that is well planned and organized and we assess that it is being carried out at the direction of Russia.”

Political leadrs of the US and Europe “have publicly stated their belief that Russian forces are behind the events in Ukraine. I would like to provide some observations from our analytical experts to help explain why I strongly agree with these world leaders,” General Breedlove noted.

He writes that “the pro-Russian "activists” in eastern Ukraine exhibit tell-tale military training and equipment and work together in a way that is consistent with troops who are part of a long-standing unit, not spontaneously stood up from a local militia.The weapon handling discipline and professional behavior of these forces is consistent with a trained military force. Rifle muzzles are pointed down, fingers not on triggers, but rather laid across trigger mechanisms.

“Coordinated use of tear gas and stun grenades against targeted buildings indicates a level of training that exceeds a recently formed militia. Video of these forces at checkpoints shows they are attentive, on their feet, focused on their security tasks, and under control of an apparent leader. This contrasts with typical militia or mob checkpoints, where it’s common to see people sitting, smoking, and so forth,” he informs.

The way these forces target government buildings, hit them in coordinated strikes and quickly secure the surrounding area with roadblocks and barricades is similar to what we’ve seen in Crimea. Again, indicative of a professional military force, acting under direction and leadership, not a spontaneous militia.

Finally, the weapons and equipment they carry are primarily Russian army issue. This is not the kind of equipment that civilians would be likely to be able to get their hands on in large numbers.

“Any one of the points above taken alone would not be enough to come to a conclusion on this issue, but taken in the aggregate, the story is clear,” he added.

Earlier a video was published on the web, where the unknown gunmen seized Ukrainian combat vehicles in the town of Slavyansk, and they have professional skills of driving them.
