It likely also included paratroopers of the 45th Guards Spetsnaz Brigade of the VDV, and Wagner Group military contractors. Furthermore, numerous sources, including Russian state media, have confirmed that the "little green men" were a mix of operatives from the Special Operations Forces and various other Spetsnaz GRU units. The Russian Federation initially denied that these were Russian military forces, but on 17 April 2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin finally confirmed the presence of the Russian military. Russian media referred to them with the euphemism " polite people" (Russian: вежливые люди, romanized: vezhlivye lyudi) due to their well-mannered behavior, as they kept to themselves and mostly made no effort to interfere with civilian life. The term has also sometimes been used to refer to Russian troops during the war in Donbas the Kremlin denied its official involvement or the presence of its troops in the region, and they wore unmarked uniforms or disguised themselves as pro-Russian separatists. The term first arose during the occupation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, a period from late February to March 2014, when such forces occupied and blockaded the Simferopol International Airport, most military bases in Crimea, and the parliament in Simferopol. Little green men ( Russian: зелёные человечки, romanized: zelyonye chelovechki Ukrainian: зелені чоловічки, romanized: zeleni cholovichky Polish: zielone ludziki) are masked soldiers of the Russian Federation who appeared during the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014 carrying weapons and equipment, but wearing unmarked green army uniforms.
