In total, more than 2,600 regular Russian servicemen from <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/proofs-of-the-russian-aggression-informnapalm-releases-extensive-database-of-evidence\/\">99 units of the Russian Army<\/a> and Russian security forces were identified in the InformNapalm's OSINT investigations as participants of the aggression against Ukraine. This is a clear indication that the hybrid Russian military aggression in the east of Ukraine is a continuation of the war that the Russian Federation started with the invasion of Crimea. All of these materials have been translated into dozens of languages by InformNapalm volunteers, distributed among diplomats and international partners, entered in court cases and are part of a large body of evidence against Russia.\r\n\r\nThe results of InformNapalm's investigations were repeatedly presented by official Ukrainian delegations at meetings of the <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/russian-armament-donbas-informnapalm-s-evidence-presented-pace\/\">Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/75-russian-military-units-fight-donbas\/\">NATO<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/47065-rossijskaya-deputat-kosmonavt-elena-s\/\">OSCE,<\/a> and were <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/48491-informnapalm-snova-razzhigaet\/\">entered in Ukraine's suit<\/a> against Russia in the European Court of Human Rights.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Read more:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/ukraine-imposes-sanctions-against-the-company-that-participated-in-seizure-of-ukrainian-sailors\/\"><em>Ukraine Imposes Sanctions Against the Company that Participated In Seizure of Ukrainian Sailors<\/em><\/a>\r\n\r\nIn early September, the topic of Russian-occupied Ukrainian Crimea came to the fore in the context of <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/on-the-eve-of-kavkaz-2020-exercises-nato-intelligence-services-collecting-data-on-russian-military-facilities-in-crimea\/\">NATO intelligence operations<\/a> and drills which are likely to become a deterrent to any Kremlin's aggressive intentions ahead of the Kavkaz 2020 Russian military exercises planned for the second half of September.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the United Efforts 2020 strategic command and staff exercise is to take place in southern Ukraine in September with the participation of of NATO member countries.\r\n<h2>Read more from InformNapalm<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/proofs-of-the-russian-aggression-informnapalm-releases-extensive-database-of-evidence\/\">Proofs of the Russian Aggression: InformNapalm releases extensive database of evidence<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/32-russian-military-units-invasion-of-crimea\/\">Volunteers gathered evidence of 32 Russian military units taking part in the invasion of Crimea<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/intelligence-data-on-1st-and-2nd-army-corps-of-russian-federation-in-occupied-donbas\/\">Intelligence data on 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the Russian Federation in the occupied Donbas<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/feb05-crimea-bal\/\">Russian Officer Disclosed Secrets of \u2018BAL\u2019 Surface-to-Ship Missile Complex in Crimea<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/ua\/krym-za-zavisoyu\/\">Crimea Behind the Curtain book made available to the public [ukr]<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/48998-lider-belorusskogo-protestnogo-dvizh\/\">The leader of the Belarusian protest movement Sergei Tikhanovsky illegally visited Crimea<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<em><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/12\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\" width=\"91\" height=\"40\" \/>By Andriy Lysytsyn specially for InformNapalm.\u00a0 <\/em>Translated by Andrii Gryganskyi, edited by Artem Velichko.
