NATO doesn't want to go to war with Russia so they are being diplomatic about assigning blame.

we know this concept of telling the truth is beyond your comprehension Mr Pukin, but try it! Stop your mercenarys from stealing, raping, torturing & lieing! Just stop being yourself a deranged vodka soaked little [d]orc. We know it must be hard for a leopard to change its spots or in your case for a skunk to hide its stench.
