UNITED NATIONS, March 18. /TASS/. Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya on Thursday said the incidents in the Ukrainian city of Chernigov that are blamed on Russia are a result of indiscriminate handouts of weapons, as Russian troops haven’t entered the city.

"There are no Russian troops in Chernigov," he said at a UN Security Council meeting. The incidents "are most likely a result of thoughtless handouts of weapons in Ukraine to anyone who asks," the diplomat said.
