MOSCOW. Jan 30 (Interfax-AVN) - The media reports stating that servicemen from Russia's 201st military base stationed on the territory of Tajikistan have been sent to the Ukrainian border are false, Yaroslav Roshchupkin, an official representative of the Central Military District, told Interfax-AVN on Friday.

"This information is untrue. It's false," Roshchupkin said.

Some media earlier reported that some 3,000 servicemen from Russia's 201st military base had been sent to the Ukrainian border.
