Russian special forces have reportedly been deployed in the Ukrainian capital Kiev as thousands of demonstrators besieged government buildings to protest the results of the presidential election.
A 1,000-strong contingent of Russian special forces have put on Ukraine uniforms upon their arrival in Ukraine, said Boris Tarasyuk, chairman of Ukraine's parliamentary European integration commission and an envoy of the Ukrainian opposition's presidential candidate Viktor Yushtchenko.
In an interview for Bulgarian private bTV channel Tarasyuk said the soldiers arrived in Kiev by plane and were armed with machine guns, which spoke of their "serious intentions".
He said they were prepared to intervene if violence broke out following last weekend's disputed presidential elections. There was no independent confirmation of the veracity of Tarasyuk's comments.
Invited to visit Bulgaria by the right-wing opposition the Union of Democratic Forces, Tarasyuk landed in Sofia on Friday.
