Mientras que Rusia se encargó hoy de negar la incursión militar en Ucrania, la OTAN difundió unas imágenes satelitales que evidencian la invasión militar de Moscú al sureste de dicho país.

"Las imágenes de satélite publicadas hoy proporcionan evidencia adicional de que los soldados de combate rusos, equipados con sofisticadas armas pesadas, están operando dentro del territorio soberano de Ucrania", dijo Nico Tak, director del Centro de Crisis Integral de la OTAN.

Según un comunicado de la OTAN, dichas imágenes son la punta del 'iceberg' de los movimientos rusos en Ucrania.

En este sentido, la alianza militar antigubernamental dijo tener conocimiento de que Rusia está apoyando de forma directa a las fuerzas separatistas que operan dentro de Ucrania.

"El objetivo final de Rusia es aliviar la presión sobre los combatientes separatistas con el fin de prolongar este conflicto de manera indefinida, logrando afectar mayormente al este de Ucrania", dijo Tak.

La fuente de las imágenes es una firma independiente de nombre Digital Globe.
