Lavrov playing the silly propaganda game. The images are from Digital Globe and easily verifiable by those wishing to purchase them.

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, acknowledged reports about the satellite images on Friday but claimed previous imagery was from video games and the Nato photos "happen to be much the same quality".

The previous video game imagery was created by a You Tube user and widely circulated. Lavrov just makes himself look silly by making such claims.
