Russians fired upon Ukrainian forces

Citizen Investigative Journalists from bellingcat.com proved that last summer Russian forces launched their missiles at advancing Ukrainian forces from Russian territory. Have they not done that the Ukrainian forces would have cut cross border link between rebels and Russian military. That would have also effectively end the war.

Ukrainian armed forces positioned near the Russian-Ukrainian border were attacked by artillery fire in the summer of 2014. Between 9 July and 5 September 2014, the Ukrainian Border Service and the National Security and Defense Council reported more than 120 artillery attacks from Russia. Russian officials, however, have denied the existence of any artillery attacks on Ukraine originating from its territory.

 The pressure of sustained artillery attacks through early August led Ukrainian armed forces to lose control of hundreds of kilometers of border territory. Google Earth satellite images of eastern Ukraine from July, August, and September 2014 have enabled the Bellingcat investigation team to find evidence of these artillery attacks, determine their origin, and compare them with local sources.

Here is a question: if 6 internet users could find evidence of Russian attack are we expected to believe that neither American or British intelligence services could not?

Why CIA, DIA, NSA and MI-6 who have access not only to Google Maps but to satellite, ground radar and AEWAC (airborne early warning and control) platforms did not find such prove?

How much do you want to bet that they did but kept it quiet?
