International volunteer community InformNapalm has come up with a new OSINT investigation, somewhat expanding the geography to bring to light more Russian war criminals. This article exposes a group of Russian paratroopers of the 104th Air Assault Regiment from Pskov, who fought in Georgia in 2008. Now they also participate in the undeclared war unleashed by the Kremlin in the east of Ukraine.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a well known fact that Russia is the main supplier of hybrid terrorism around the world. This country and its criminal regime have perpetrated countless war crimes across post-Soviet countries and now in the Middle East as well. Even years later, evidence continue to surface on social media of the involvement of whole units of the Russian Armed Forces, both in the past and recent military ventures.<\/p>\n

On November 3, 2015, we released a video<\/a> featuring Russian war criminals having fun near Gori<\/strong> (Georgia) in August 2008, where tankmen of the North Caucasus Military District (now, the Southern Military District) and paratroopers of the 104th Air Assault Regiment (AAR) from Pskov are committing an act of vandalism. After we called for additional information on Russian war criminals and their accomplices on November 9 in our article Paratroopers of the 31st Brigade from Ulyanovsk As \u2018Patriot\u2019 Militants in Donbas<\/a>, an anonymous source wrote us this: “In 2008, I served in the 104th Regiment of the 76th Division of the Russian Airborne Forces and participated in the Peace Enforcement Operation”. Years later, our contact began to understand the true nature of things, changed his views and came to resent what Russia does to Ukraine today, especially given that he is an ethnic Ukrainian. In the end of his letter of repentance, he left a few links to the VK social media profiles of his former fellow servicemen, saying they were the people who needed our attention.<\/p>\n

An OSINT analysis of the Russian paratroopers\u2019 profiles provided us with the following information.<\/p>\n
