Ukraine crisis: 'Russian special forces' captured

[Bosonic]

Source: BBC

Ukraine's military says its forces have captured two Russian soldiers fighting with rebels in eastern Ukraine.

The troops were seized in the town of Shchastya, near the line of separation.

A video emerged apparently showing one of the soldiers - which it said were members of Russia's elite special forces - saying during questioning that he was a sergeant from the central Russian city of Togliatti.

Russia denies claims that it is sending its forces to help the rebels.

1. Good. I hope they expose Putin for his lies.

17. Technically, Putin believes Novorossiya is not a country.

And therefore, there are no Russian troops in Ukraine. They're in Novorossiya.

I'm dead serious.

2. They were just lost

5. Well, surprise, surprise

How's Putin going to explain this?

1. They're obviously Ukrainian Nazi posing as Russian special forces.
2. They're actually Latvian and Estonian border guards posing as special forces just to embarrass Putin.
3. It's really Pussy Riot posing as Russian special forces.
4. It's Anna Politkovskaya, Alexander Litvineko and Boris Nemtsov rising from the dead, just to embarrass Putin.

14. There is of course no mention of this at all at rt.com

Perhaps it wasn’t in line with the Russian propaganda.

Shameful how Russia is doing this. Just one of many squads but this one managed to survive to be captured, rather than killed and repatriated back to Russia for his family to never know the cause of his death.

18. Says who. Kiev?

You don't believe Republican lies, but you believe Kiev?

[NuclearDem]

19. The only lies worth believing are the ones from the Kremlin.

Because Nazis or something.
