Ukrainian artillery destroyed the majority of a Russian invading force that passed through a rebel-held part of the Ukrainian border, according to the Ukrainian President Petro Poreshenko. The Ukrainian President brought up the incident while talking with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Russian column of invading APCs entered Ukraine yesterday, a fact that was captured by journalists Shaun Walker and Roland Oliphant.
Oliphant tweeted again today, when he found a large force of APCs headed toward the Ukrainian border.
Despite this, NATO and Ukraine have both stopped short of calling the
incursion of APCs yesterday a full-fledged invading force. Pro-Russian
separatists in eastern Ukraine have been losing to the Ukrainian
government forces; and there has also been a humanitarian crisis in
Eastern Ukraine, which has prompted Russia to deploy troops next to the
Ukrainian border. There are around 20,000 troops on the border, according to NATO.
