The Russia haters will debunk it. They will not let it stand.
Commenting on Muzhenko’s statement, Galushko said that reporters were only allowed at the open part of the meeting. He said that later, during the closed part, the chief of general staff said that Russian units are “in the second tier.”
I'm sure you knew this, you just wanted to pick a fight. Of course there are Russian Units in Eastern Ukraine - they arent wearing Russian Uniforms and they are not carrying Russian identities but you can be damn well sure they are there under orders from Moscow.

He said that later, during the closed part, the chief of general staff said that Russian units are “in the second tier.
