Russia today denied that it had attempted to send troops across the border under the guise of a humanitarian mission, and pledged it would not make such a unilateral intervention.
"Russian troops made no attempt to penetrate" into Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency. "We have difficulty understanding what the Ukrainians are talking about," he added.
