About 200 Russian officers have arrived in the Russian-occupied areas of Donbas, eastern Ukraine.
"About two hundred Russian servicemen have arrived in the occupied Donbas. Not to lose control over the temporarily occupied part of Donbas and illegal armed formations, supervisors from the Kremlin have recently sent unusual humanitarian aid – about two hundred officers," the Headquarters of Ukraine's military operations in Donbas said on Facebook on February 22.
