"It is probably necessary to remind Mrs Clinton of the numerous waves of NATO expansion and the approach of the alliance's military infrastructure to our borders," Mr Peskov said. This accusation follows the emergence of video evidence today suggesting that Admiral Viktor Sokolov, the fleet's commander, is still alive, contrary to Ukraine's earlier claims that he was among the 34 officers killed in the recent strike on the port city of Sevastopol.Your questions answered: Why is Ukraine so successful in attacking key Russian military installations?Every weekday at 12.
