Or maybe they didn\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>There is another interesting detail.<\/p>\n<p>This village, where, thanks to the Russian propagandists, we now know the tanker trucks are parked, used to be the place where large concentrations of Russian military equipment were repeatedly recorded. In June, our partners from \u201cInformation Resistance\u201d group <a href=\"http:\/\/sprotyv.info\/ru\/news\/kiev\/ot-tehniki-nevozmozhno-proyti-po-ulicam-prigranichnoe-selo-markino-zabito-rossiyskoy\">reported<\/a> that the village was packed with Russian military equipment.<\/p>\n<p>And as recently as on January 31, 2017, Alexander Chernov in his Twitter said that more than 15 units of military equipment were moved from the so-called \u201cstorage\u201d of the Russian invaders\u2019 military equipment in the village of Markine toward Sakhanka and Pikuzy (formerly Kominternove), located at the contact line, 10 km from Mariupol.

Analysis of Bryanka shelling<\/a>.\r\n\r\nBut using the staged attacks is not the only media technique of Russian-terrorist forces.\r\n\r\nTo create a favorable depiction of events, Russian propaganda uses other methods of disinformation, for example, fake reports about invented incidents, in order to accuse the Ukrainian side of terrorism.\r\n\r\nAs an example, let\u2019s analyze the staged video by Russian propagandists from the News Front channel, who, unwittingly, keep supplying us with the materials for analysis of the Russian presence in the Donbas.\r\n\r\nSo, let\u2019s watch the video, titled: \u201cA fighter of Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR), recruited by the intelligence agencies of Ukraine, talks about the placement of an explosive device\u201d.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/g3NruxbSKH8\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter watching the video, several questions arise:\r\n\r\n- Why did Russian military place storage depots in the close proximity of a densely-populated area, if they are really concerned about civilians?\r\n\r\n- Why \u201crecruit\u201d some militant, carrying out a complex scheme for the transfer of explosive devices, if you can either hit the warehouse with an artillery strike, or order the bombing using locally available explosives, avoiding the need to smuggle them in?\r\n\r\nRegardless, these questions become pointless, once the exact location of the filming has been determined, revealing the nature of the staged scene.\r\n\r\nAllegedly, the video was recorded in the urban-type settlement of Boykivske (formerly Telmanove).\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/tserkov.png\" \/>\r\n\r\nHowever, in that area there is no parking of the tanker trucks of the so-called 9th Separate Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 1st Army Corps of Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR), military unit 08819 (tactical markings on the car: \u201c59 in a circle\u201d).\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/sknrinshot.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nWe have determined that in reality the truck park, where the recording took place, is located at the thrashing floor in the village of <a href=\"http:\/\/wikimapia.org\/#lang=en&amp;lat=47.185553&amp;lon=38.185022&amp;z=19&amp;m=h\">Markine<\/a>, Novoazovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/sknrinshot_ulitsa.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/markino.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf the militants really wanted to document the circumstances of \u201crecruitment\u201d and make a video about the \u201cplans to blow up the tankers,\" why change the location of filming?\r\n\r\nIf the \u201cjunta\u201d sent someone to blow up the warehouse, then its intelligence services knew where it was. Or maybe they didn\u2019t?\r\n\r\nThere is another interesting detail.\r\n\r\nThis village, where, thanks to the Russian propagandists, we now know the tanker trucks are parked, used to be the place where large concentrations of Russian military equipment were repeatedly recorded. In June, our partners from \u201cInformation Resistance\u201d group <a href=\"http:\/\/sprotyv.info\/ru\/news\/kiev\/ot-tehniki-nevozmozhno-proyti-po-ulicam-prigranichnoe-selo-markino-zabito-rossiyskoy\">reported<\/a> that the village was packed with Russian military equipment.\r\n\r\nAnd as recently as on January 31, 2017, Alexander Chernov in his Twitter said that more than 15 units of military equipment were moved from the so-called \u201cstorage\u201d of the Russian invaders\u2019 military equipment in the village of Markine toward Sakhanka and Pikuzy (formerly Kominternove), located at the contact line, 10 km from Mariupol. Thus, the discovered trucks are extremely important for logistical support of the Russian occupation force grouping aimed at Mariupol.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Utilizator_\/status\/826456533374468096\r\n\r\nAs we can see, a performance staged by \u201cNews Front\u201d propagandists on a closer examination can also provide interesting intelligence.\r\n\r\nThis show by Russian propagandists fits well within the Kremlin\u2019s handbook on accusing Ukraine of violating the Minsk Protocol and \u201cthe genocide of the Russian-speaking population\u201d in Donbas. But if we remove the propaganda coating and analyze the photos and videos, posted by propagandists and militants, we can not only successfully refute their fakes, but also obtain useful data about their secrets.\r\n\r\n<em>Prepared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kattyfun\">Kateryna Yaresko<\/a>, Dmytro K., and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VidalSorokin\">Vidal Sorokin<\/a><\/em>\r\n\r\n<em>Translated by<\/em><strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/informnapalm24en\/\">InformNapalm English<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-8997 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"127\" height=\"56\" \/><\/a>(CC BY) Information specially prepared for website\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/\">InformNapalm.org<\/a>, an active link to the author and our project is obligatory for any reprint or further use of the material.\r\n\r\nWe urge readers to actively share our publications on social networks.Broad public awareness of these investigations is a major factor in the information and actual warfare","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10502"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10502\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10507,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10502\/revisions\/10507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
