The reports on the presence of foreign troops in Lviv region are untrue, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich had said earlier on March 5 that Moscow was worried by the presence of 300 Ukrainian paratroopers near Lviv.
Oleksandr Poroniuk, the chief of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s regional media center in Lviv, told Interfax-Ukraine that these allegations were untrue.
Any foreign troops could have appeared on ranges in Lviv region only based on a relevant Verkhovna Rada resolution, he said.
