Sorry about the title, difficult to fit

Ukraine crisis: Nato images show Russian soldiers, artillery and armoured vehicles in 'military operations' in eastern Ukraine

Satellite images showing Russian forces engaged in military operations inside Ukraine with tanks and sophisticated weaponry have been released by Nato.

A convoy of Russian armed vehicles and artillery is seen rolling through Krasnodon in Luhansk oblast on 21 August and setting up firing positions in the separatist-controlled region.

Nato said the configuration was “exactly how trained military professionals would arrange their assets on the ground”, indicating that the soldiers were not amateur rebels but Russian soldiers.

Similar Russian artillery systems have recently shelled Ukrainian positions outside the city of Luhansk in as rebels pushed back against a siege by Government forces.
