MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. The statements of NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Philip Breedlove on Russian military columns allegedly intruding the Ukrainian territory are little more than an assertion, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, the official spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters on Wednesday.

“We’ve already stopped taking note of the unfounded statements by NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Gen Philip Breedlove on Russian military columns he supposedly saw intrude the Ukrainian territory,” he said.

“We’ve stressed many a time there are no real facts behind the acts of shaking the air by Brussels officials,” Gen Konashenkov said.

According to him, one may get an impression that the smaller the trust that the European public quarters have in Gen Breedlove’s words, “the higher the degree of his alarmist anti-Russian allegations."
