Nemtsov report claims hundreds of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine [View all]

Source: AFP via Yahoo

Moscow (AFP) - Allies of murdered Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov on Tuesday unveiled a report based on research he compiled that they claimed proved large-scale Russian military involvement in Ukraine.

The report -- based on media reports and information from families of Russian soldiers allegedly killed in Ukraine -- repeats widespread allegations of Russian military involvement in Ukraine that Moscow has consistently denied.

Nemtsov -- a former deputy prime minister who became a fierce Kremlin critic -- had started work on the report before he was gunned down just yards from the Kremlin in late February.

The 64-page report said the Russian army made two major incursions into Ukrainian territory in the summer of 2014 and in the winter of 2015. Both turned the tables in the fighting and came ahead of negotiations on the conflict.
