InformNapalm volunteers have identified yet another Russian war criminal who could become a valuable witness in the future lawsuits against Russia. He is Nikolay Tulnev, a food service officer of the 58<\/b>th <\/b>Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces.<\/b><\/p>\n

Food Service of the Russian Armed Forces<\/b><\/p>\n

Food service is an integral part of military unit logistics. Its task is to supply the armed forces with food. The food service of the Russian Armed Forces is managed by the Central Food Department of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The extent to which a food supply officer can be a precious witness was demonstrated with the example of <\/span>A. Popov<\/span><\/a>, a food service officer of the 18<\/span>th <\/span>Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade. His emails, disclosed by the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA), contained documents that provided us with the list of names of the brigade personnel, as well as the information regarding the deployment of the brigade to Crimea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal Information<\/b><\/p>\n

Nikolay Vladimirovich Tulnev, 20.04.1986<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Born in the town of Armavir, Krasnodar Krai. In 1992-2003 studied at the local school #12. In 2008 graduated from the Volsk Military Logistics Institute. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tulnev served in military unit 92558 (Buynaksk), 182<\/span>nd<\/span> Field Bakery (Prokhladny), 99<\/span>th <\/span>Logistics Support Brigade (Maikop). In 2017 under the order of the commander of Southern Military District, Tulnev was promoted to the rank of major.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During his military career, Tulnev has served in several units. Thanks to the publications in the Russian media, we were able to establish which unit Tulnev was a part of when he participated in the occupation of Crimea.<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 24, 2013 the website of Russia TV Kuban published an <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> where Tulnev was named as the food service commander of the 99<\/span>th <\/span>Logistics Support Brigade.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His photo, published in the VKontakte social network in January 2018, shows that his uniform has the insignia of the same 99<\/span>th <\/span>Brigade.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This means that when Tulnev participated in the occupation of Crimea, he was a part of the 99<\/span>th <\/span>Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was later promoted: the <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> by sevosetia.ru, published on April 27, 2018, referred to Tulnev as the food service commander of the 58<\/span>th <\/span>Army.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In April 2014 Tulnev published photos taken during the occupation of Crimea.<\/span><\/p>\n
