    Sources close to the Russian military said on Thursday that Russian naval forces in the Black Sea had been put on heightened alert to discourage Ukraine from trying to disrupt the soccer World Cup as the tournament got under way.

    However, the Defence Ministry itself dismissed the reports, saying in a statement: “The forces of the Black Sea Fleet are working in routine mode. No measures to put (them) on high combat alert have taken place.

    Reuters was not able to verify a Ukrainian build-up independently, and there was no confirmation of that from officials in Kiev.

    One of the military sources said there were concerns that Ukraine was building up its military presence in the area as a “provocation” during the tournament.

    Three sources said Russia’s forces around the Black Sea Crimea peninsula had been put on a state of high combat readiness. Two of them said it was linked to the tournament.

    Trois sources russes insiders, longuement rapportées, pas de vérification indépendante, même pas côté ukrainien…

    ah non, ça c’est le projet initial, le dépourvu d’éléments vérifiables est tombé, sans doute parce que trop facilement … vérifiable : Reuters lui-même l’annonce. Actuellement, c’est :
    « toute allégation ou imputation d’un fait, inexacte ou trompeuse, constitue une fausse information »
