Current Russian government are pro at playing this "but there are no proof offered" game. Lithuania, where i live, is pretty close to armed conflict in Ukraine where Russian backed (no proofs here according to Russia) separatists are fighting (as in war) to declare independent republics from Ukraine.

Crimea (part of Ukraine) was "liberated" by "little green men"[0] and then coincidently decided to join Russian federation.

There is no secret that Russian government sponsors internet trolls to push it's agenda [1]

I agree that someone might abuse "Russian troll" card but keep in mind that Russian (government) is no saint here. Russians themselves are fine though. And please don't start with "but Americans also do this and that". Im saying here that Russian trolls are real. One use twitter, other use military uniforms without insignia. Depending on situation ;)

So, where is the evidence then? Like, actual evidence.

Not propaganda, which is what your links are really.

Real evidence. Something tangible, which leads to the conclusions being promoted by the propaganda. I'm yet to see any. Like, there is literally ZERO evidence preferred, every single time.
