We have new evidence of the Russian paratrooper’s participation in the Russian combat operations in Donbas. Rustam Tukumbetov is a Russian contract serviceman with the service record in different airborne units of the Russian Army. Nowadays he participates in the Donbas War as a serviceman of the joint battalion tactical group of the 106th Airborne Division and the 4th Armored Division.
According to the photo from his VK account, his first Ukrainian mission began in the spring of 2014, next came a hot summer in the Donbas, where he was posing on a background of a burned car. After summer active phase of combat actions battered paratroopers of the 106th Airborne were sent back to their base for reformation. In December 2014 they re-appeared at the Ukrainian border.
Rustam’s wife — Yelena Tukumbetova-Izrisova works as a physics teacher in the Ryazan College of Electronics.
P.S. Vigilant FSB operatives are doing their online job. After our publication Tukumbetov’s VK profile was deleted and his wife’s page was ‘fixed’. Mr. Putin is angry that the World knows.
