    I remember that time. Putin said that the Russian Army had not invaded Ukraine, not that there weren’t Russian troops there. There were plenty of Russian military members who took a leave of absence to help restore democracy in Ukraine after the Euromaidan riots threatened the elected government into resigning. That was the official Russian position.

      Maybe the correct respond is something like the missile need to take their annual paid leave and eastern ukraine sounds like a good place to be.
