"According to intelligence reports, the Russian special services told their Donbas puppets that the so-called Republican Guard of the Donetsk People’s Republic will be provided with weapons only if 50% of its structure includes Russian troops," he said.

According to Motuzianyk, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has recently spoken about the buildup of the Russian army along the Ukrainian-Russian border.

Motuzianyk said the Russian Federation has already sent more than a thousand pieces of equipment into Ukraine, including modern weapon systems, tanks, artillery pieces and drones.
