You're reading: Hug says he doesn’t consider Russia aggressor

Former Principal Deputy Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine Alexander Hug has said he doesn’t consider Russia an aggressor country.

No, but I believe that Russia, like Ukraine and ORDLO, recognized the existence of a big problem that needs to be resolved and they all assumed obligations, he said in an interview with the 1+1 TV channel on November 4, answering the question about whether Hug considers Russia an aggressor.

At the same time, he noted that the SMM recorded columns of military-type vehicles with weapons on them, which entered the territory of Ukraine from the territory of the Russian Federation.

Those, who were part of the 16th airborne brigade, we met in areas not controlled by the government, said Hug.
